Between being a new Mom, working full-time and trying to maintain some sliver of a social life, my time is VERY limited. With lots of holiday parties coming up, I need to get to the grocery store and finding time has been nearly impossible.
Thankfully, I discovered Peapod. This awesome service allows me to grocery shop right from my computer or mobile device and have the groceries delivered whenever I need them. The great thing is, Peapod has everything you would find at your favorite grocery store including: produce; meat and seafood; deli items; prepared foods; natural and organic foods; Kosher foods; floral; office and school supplies; seasonal items; and MealKits; pet items; health and beauty aids; wine, beer and spirits! This service truly has it all.
Here are 5 reasons why I’m totally obsessed:
I can get recipe inspiration, click a button and have all the groceries in my cart! Yes, you read that correctly. Peapod has another site called, From the Pod, where you can search thousands of amazing dishes, get the recipe and have all the ingredients placed into a grocery cart for you with one click.
Like, who wouldn’t want to try this Baked Crab Dip?
Peapod Meal Kits: To be honest, right now, I am having a hard time finding time to create fun new recipes for my family. One of the reasons I love Peapod so much is because they have these unbelievable meal kits!
This week, I ordered a Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Skillet and it was AMAZING.
The kits literally come with every single thing you need to make the meal (including the oil to cook.)
This was so simple to make. I literally just open up containers of pre-prepared, fresh food and followed the insutrctions.
This was a total hit in my house hold. Not only was it DELICIOUS and easy to cook, it was priced perfectly. For less than $6.50 per person, I was able to create this yummy masterpiece.
Sort/Filter based on SO MANY THINGS: As someone who entertains a lot, being able to sort/filter on dietary restrictions is a life saver. In Peapod, you can actually take an entire category of products and narrow them down based on a whole host of options.Last week, this came in super handy when my friend, Samantha came over for dinner. She is gluten-free, dairy-free so I was able to get a list of everything I could purchase with a quick click of a button. This feature is also great for someone looking to be on a low-carb or low calorie diet. There are just SO many different options to filter by. Can you tell I’m a little bit obsessed?
PeaPod saves you money: Unfortunately, my monthly budget didn’t grow as my family grew this year. This means that anytime I can save money, I try to! Peapod is awesome because you can literally shop the sales and specials with one click of a button.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone to check out and asked to put stuff back when I realized how much I was spending. This helps avoid that embarrassment because you can monitor your spending the entire time you shop! You can also sort items based on price.
Convienence: At the end of the day, the number one reason I use Peapod is because I can literally shop from anywhere at anytime. I could be feeding the baby with one hand or in a cab on the way to a client meeting and still be grocery shopping! I also love that I can start and stop my shopping as many times as I need to before placing my order.
With the holidays coming up, a Peapod gift card would make an awesome gift! I know many of my friends and family will be getting one! I wanted to do something special, so I’ve partnered with Peapod to give one of YOU a PeaPass for a year! To enter, go to my Instagram and follow the instructions on my post with the Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Skillet. Winner will be chosen on Sunday night (on CHRISTMAS EVE!)
Love always,
Erica

I can’t even tell you how much I love Peapod too, it’s been a life saver time and again and the customer service has always been fantastic. In the rare case that I’m not satisfied with produce or something accidentally gets damaged, they’ve always been very responsive and have had it resolved by the time I hung up the phone. One time I actually got stuck at my hairstylists, and was concerned I would miss delivery and they arranged for the driver to come back later that evening. Being a new mom (my son is less than a year), and running a fast growing company I find it difficult to find time for myself and if I do get a window to relax, I don’t like to spend it in a grocery store. Plus, these days that time usually is at 2AM when everyone else is sleeping. Usually, peapod offers promotional codes for first time customers to give the service a try. Right now, I believe they are running 20.00 of your first order, and plus free delivery. The code is: 60DAYSFREE
I was thrilled when I learned that they started the Peapass and signed up immediately. The minimum order for delivery is 60.00 (in my area) which isn’t too high in my opinion, and makes it easy to keep produce fresh and only purchase exactly what you need. Plus, they’ll even lug in all of the water and heavy stuff, so it helps prevent marital arguments when my hubby is less than chivalrous…haha well at least one of them. I haven’t tried from the pod yet, but I have been looking and I’ll have to give it a shot! Thanks for the great post.
