    Grocery Delivery Apps

    With social distancing guidelines in place as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, getting groceries can be challenging. As PC Mike Wendland reminds us, a number of apps can help you get groceries delivered right to your door. Instacart uses personal shoppers to pick up items for you from local stores. That includes the ability to order from Costco and Sam’s Club without a membership (though you will pay more than members would in the store). In some areas you can even order from liquor stores, pet stores, and pharmacies. If you pay extra you can even free two-hour delivery on orders over $35. The app is free for iOS…

It’s 100 percent free and there are no membership fees. Simply search to see if RxSaver beats your health insurance.
