A Fresh Look at Genuardis Grocery Delivery![]() Being able to order your groceries online and have them delivered to you (like you're some kind of A-lister) is pampering of the 9th degree. The BEST part about this kind of pampering, though, is that you won't have a spousal argument afterwards! Nope! Used wisely, online grocery shopping can save your family money. If your home-base of operations is located in the greater Philadelphia Metro area and Washington DC, Genuardis is an online grocery store that may be a godsend. Since I don't live in those areas, I've gathered the opinions of moms who do.
The Genuardis family of stores are well known for excellent produce and a wide variety of foods and household idems (including basic infant products). Choose between fresh veggies, fruits, herbs, meats, dairy...anything you'd expect to find in their physical store. They also have an extensive natural and organic division.
![]() What Impressed MomsIn general, moms were most impressed with the quality of the groceries they received. They appreciated being able to get the delivery straight into their kitchen (or where ever they asked the delivery man to take them). Many mothers were ecstatic that the online Genuardi's reflected the same specials and deals as the physical Genuardi's.The factor most moms reported loving was the convenience factor. Not having to go out again (with or without the kids) and stand in line for who-knows-how-long was the highlight of the whole experience. There were no reports of incomplete or incorrect orders. Last-minute, late-night orders are accepted, and then delivered the next morning. (The panicked "No milk!" ...Solved.) ![]() Overcoming the Delivery ChargeLike most online grocery store purveyors, Genuardi's realizes that one of their largest hurdles in getting moms to buy their groceries and baby items online is the delivery charge. Genuardis addresses this problem in a variety of ways.
![]() Hopes for the FutureIn the future, moms are hoping for the ability to see their cart while they are shopping, so they can monitor with each item, where their bill stands. Also, unlike Peapod delivery, you must be present to receive your order. Hopefully this will change in the future.One mom reported that during one of her weekly orders she received some over-ripe produce. A quick phone call and and even quicker response credited that off her bill. Currently, they do not accept manufacturer or in-store coupons. They will accept online coupons that have a "promotional code" on them that you can enter during checkout. They will not give refunds if you forget to use your code!

Just use code PUMPKINPIE or APPLEPIE to get your freebie! Hurry! Must be delivered before November 21st! If you live in the greater Philadelphia area or in (or around) Washington D.C., I highly recommend giving them a try. With the free delivery coupon below, you've really got nothing to lose. On the other hand, if you don't mind shopping at 6 am, 7 pm, or Saturday morning (with the kids) than this offer is probably not for you.
