You may not initially think that ordering groceries online could be a money-saver, but it turns out that the savvy shopper can indeed save time, money and energy by having groceries delivered to their doorstep. Here are 3 ways that Wise Bread says you can actually save money by shopping from the comfort of your own home:

1. New customers usually receive their first few deliveries for free. After that, you can search for coupon codes or specials online (such as 20% off your entire bill). If you take the time to look for deals, you can usually find them.
2. Looking at items online is different than staring at them in the grocery aisle. Junk food shouldn’t be as alluring when you’re just pressing “click.” Therefore, in theory, shopping online should reduce impulse buying, decreasing your bill and perhaps your waistline.
3. Since you don’t have to schlep all of your groceries home yourself, you can take advantage of discounts for bulk buys without the inconvenience. Finding an online grocer that accepts coupons or has weekly sales is definitely an added bonus.
