Free grocery delivery
Albertsons currently is waiving the standard $12.95 delivery fee on orders of $150 or more made via its web site. Enter code DELIVER4FREE when checking out. I've tried the service before and enjoyed the convenience, but I'm too cheap to pay the delivery fee on a regular basis. If you are thinking of placing a grocery order online through Albertsons, remember that prices — including sale items — are supposed to be the same online as they are in stores. And Albertsons asks that you not provide tips to drivers. A real drawback to ordering groceries online is that you can't use manufacturer's coupons. Another possible drawback, if you are picky about your fresh produce and meats, that someone is doing the picking for you and you may not like their choices.
