By this point, you’ve heard it from everyone: stay home. For people who ordinarily like to go out to get their groceries, personal products and household supplies, this shift to stay indoors 24/7 and do everything from home may not be easy. Here are a few delivery services that may prove useful to you in the weeks to come:
- Freshdirect
-
This is an excellent way to have groceries delivered to anyone living in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware or Washington D.C. Freshdirect offers a wide variety of high quality, reasonably priced food that lasts up to seven days longer than food purchased at a traditional grocery store. You can choose from time slots listed throughout the week and select a delivery time that works best for your schedule. To sign up for the delivery service and get $25 off your first order, click here.
- Amazon
-
I know you’ve already probably tried ordering things from here, and things are getting harder and harder to come by each day. I wouldn’t give up just yet. If you find that the delivery dates you’re seeing are too far out in the future and you need supplies sooner, consider signing up for a free six-month trial of Prime Student. It gives you unlimited free two-day shipping for most items, and it also gives you access to Prime Pantry. This is an especially great option for household supplies and non-perishable foods. If you’re lucky enough to secure a time slot for Amazon Fresh, this is generally a good option for fresh groceries! My suggestion is to keep checking every morning, and you should eventually find one that works for your area.
- Target
-
Target is an excellent alternative to Amazon for groceries, personal products and household supplies. Depending on your area of residence, Target offers same-day delivery and two-day delivery for many of its products. I’ve been ordering the products unavailable at Amazon here, and I’ve found their service to be quite comparable.
- Dermstore
-
Lastly, Dermstore BeautyFIX is the best way to have your personal products delivered. This is a subscription box valued at over $100 which includes six premium skincare and beauty products for only $25 a month. When you sign up for BeautyFIX, you receive free-shipping, subscriber savings and offers on full-size versions of your favorite products from the box. This is great for anyone, especially college students on a budget, who likes to try out different products without having to commit to investing in the full-sized version or having to purchase individual travel-sized products.
I hope you found these suggestions helpful, and stay safe and healthy at home!
