With work, household chores, family and everything else life throws our way, finding time to go to the grocery store can be a challenge. Then, there are all the headaches that can come with the in-person shopping experience: fighting for parking, searching every aisle to find something on your grocery list, waiting on long lines at check-out, lugging all those groceries home. It's no wonder that, according to some reports, nearly 150 million U.S. shoppers are turning to online grocery delivery services to find an easier way.
There are a lot of benefits to shopping for groceries online, both for busy families and individuals alike, which is why our nutrition experts and culinary pros in the Good Housekeeping Institute set out to test and find the best grocery delivery services.
Our top picks:
- Best Overall: Walmart+ InHome
- Best Variety: Instacart
- Best for Prime Members: Amazon Fresh
- Best for Families: Shipt
- Best Healthy: Thrive Market
Grocery delivery services allow you to shop virtually at your local supermarket or an online specialty store, building out your digital cart before having the goods delivered right to your door. While some services allow you to shop in advance and select a pre-determined delivery date, others also offer same-day delivery if you're more of a last-minute shopper (or you're in urgent need of a missing ingredient mid-baking session).
You can read more about how we tested and evaluated online grocery services at the end of this guide, where you'll also find more information about the cost (i.e., is it cheaper to shop for groceries online instead of in stores?) plus tips for finding the best service for your needs.
