Many consumers are looking to save money while saving time when going to the supermarket. Distributors have adapted to these expectations by notably offering home delivery. A more or less accessible service depending on the brand.
After several months marked by successive increases in the prices of consumer goods and energy, many households are trying to save money. An attempt renewed when the time comes to shop in the supermarket where prices are constantly rising, driven by inflation coupled with rising costs of raw materials and energy.
A context that pushes many consumers to pay attention to the wallet and monitor each expense. To help them cope with price increases, several large retailers offer anti-inflation baskets. Beyond the time savings it represents, home delivery, a service also widespread in various supermarkets, can be a way to save money. Indeed, the fact of not physically going to the store is a solution to save money since it prevents the consumer from being exposed to the multitude of products and promotional offers put forward by distributors.

Delivery, an economical solution?
Many people have already gone to the supermarket to buy a unique product and find themselves at the exit with a full shopping bag. A scenario that can be avoided by simply opting for home delivery of your shopping. But which brand offers this service at the lowest price? While most players in the sector offer a home delivery and/or drive-thru service, each brand applies its own pricing policy.
Some, for example, require a minimum amount of orders to be able to take advantage of the service, while others offer delivery to the customer from a certain purchase volume. In some cases, the preparation of the order is a service invoiced by the brand. Given the different strategies applied by these players, it is sometimes difficult to find your way around and to know which brand offers the cheapest home delivery service on the market.

Who is the cheapest?
According to the magazine UFC What To Choose, the Leclerc group invoices its customers 9.90 euros for each order placed on its platform, which brings together 12,000 item references, including fresh products. At Carrefour, it is possible to have your shopping delivered to your home for the sum of €1.90 provided that the amount of the shopping basket exceeds €15, while Monoprix does not charge for home delivery but requires an amount basket greater than €50.
In Auchan stores, home delivery is free from purchases of €150. Given this analysis, it is difficult to choose the brand that offers the cheapest home delivery service, as the pricing policies and services offered differ according to the brands.. The choice of the preferred supermarket must be made according to the situation of each household. A large family with higher expenses will therefore prefer to be delivered by Auchan so as not to pay the delivery costs, while a single person may opt for the small baskets offered by Carrefour.
