Grocery shopping in person or online: Which is better?

Karen Spade knows how to collect coupons (优惠券) and price match. She runs her own savings website to teach others to shop and save as she does.

Yet when a nearby grocery store started offering online shopping about a month ago, Spade     1     at the chance to try it. She didn’t even care there was a delivery fee and the store did not     2     paper coupons or price matching for online orders. Why would a power shopper be willing to give up some of her favorite savings     3     to shop online?

“For shoppers     4     to collecting coupons and price match, shopping in-store will bring bigger savings,” Spade explained. “But many people are never going to do that and, for them online shopping is another way to save, because you can keep an eye on your running total as you shop to stick to your budget.”

So Spade took the plunge and managed to     5     her first order. “I went to the store afterwards to test out what the price     6     would have been”, she said, “and I found everything ordered was the same price at the store.”

So if this is the case, then it’s all about whether you can make back the delivery fee. Stores charge between $7.95 and $12.95 to deliver your groceries, depending on the size of your     7    .

You offset (抵消) little of that money right away because you do not have to pay for gas, but the biggest benefit is the time saved by     8     the trip. Shopping online saves time in another way. Even on your very first online shopping trip, if you enter your loyalty card number, all the products you’ve bought before at the store should pop up as a(n)     9     shopping list. Just click the ones you’d like to buy again and you’re done. No     10     wandering in the store.
