Hey Colorado: This Grocery Store Hack Will Save You Time + Money

With inflation rising in Colorado, we're all trying to save money on groceries. As our lives get busier, we have less time to shop and research whether the items we're buying are good deals.

It takes time to save money. Or does it? I would like to share a habit that we have started in my household. We do all of our shopping in Fort Collins, but nearly every Coloradan can give this a shot and save hundreds of dollars as my household has.

Use This Next Time You Shop For Groceries in Colorado

I almost exclusively use grocery pick-up when I do my grocery shopping. Primarily I used the King Soopers or Walmart app to select which items I wanted. An employee will grab my items for me in the store.

The store then will tell me when the groceries are ready and I drive there. Then they load the groceries in my car and I go home.

Get our free mobile app

It's remarkably easy and I started utilizing this free service during the pandemic.

I have found that this saves me a ton of time and money. I save time because I am not mindlessly looking up and down the aisles and I stick to my list more often.

I also shop by a coupon section first and discover many discounts I would have missed otherwise.

I buy all my fruits and vegetables in person, though.

Does This Actually Save Money in Colorado?

It does for my household because we head to the coupon section first on the app. One of the biggest benefits is that you know your total before you checkout. No more surprises when you pay for your groceries.

Experts say that consumers are less likely to make impulse purchases and seek deals, and it is much easier to compare prices.

You should give this a shot. You might never want to step foot in a grocery store again.
