I’d like to think I’ve perfected the art of online shopping now that I am a mom in NYC. Why? Because I already tow around a toddler, diaper bag and stroller – who has room to carry home bags of groceries let alone a new pair of shoes from the Rebecca Minkoff sample sale you just walked past.
UGH is right.
Ordering groceries online totally sounds like #firstworldproblems – but if you do it correctly – it’s actually more efficient and even just as affordable as going to the grocery store yourself. Well, a NYC grocery store that is. haha.
5 Perks of Ordering Online with Peapod
1. Grocery delivery has gotten advanced. Pretty much you can use the app to even pick what you want – and the lists are “smart” – they remember what you ordered in the past (a lot of repeats with picky toddlers!) and even offer recommendations based on what you like.
2. Free delivery. If you sign up – you can get FREE delivery for 60 days. After that it’s only $59 for a six-month Pod Pass (or $9.99 per month). That’s cheaper than other delivery services (oh yes, I’ve checked), and that’s UNLIMITED deliveries too (as long as each is $30 or more).
3. Save money! You can save $1 each delivery by using a ‘direct check’ or connecting your bank account online. AND you can save up to $2 each delivery by picking the most “green” time schedules. $3 per week can start to add up!
4. Good news – we knew you were going to ask – yes they now deliver to ALL FIVE BOROUGHS. That means here in Astoria, to my friends in Fort Greene and even my bestie up in the Bronx.
5. Peapod has the full assortment of grocery items that you would expect to find in a suburban store – without the suburbs! Think organic, Kosher, BABY items (oh yeah, they deliver those massive boxes of diapers!), and even a Best of NY selection offering speciality items from around the city like Brooklyn Bread, Grumpy Johns and more!
BONUS – they even DOUBLE manufacturer coupons. What NYC grocery store offers that? You just hand your coupons to the delivery guy when he shows up and they’re refund the savings. That’s love.

I want you to try it for yourself. Who couldn’t use $100 worth of FREE groceries? I bet once you try their services, you’ll be signing up for a monthly Pod Pass like myself.
My mom uses PeaPod and loves it!
I love grocery delivery services. We had a great one in DC and I totally miss it. xo ~ Megan The Fashionista Momma
Cool! That they deliver to The Bronx! Will need to try them. For working moms, this is such a convenience
I can’t wait to try Peapod out! I am also happy they come to the Bronx too!
