Donna Bordeaux explains how to use delivery and pickup services from Sam's Club, Costco, Amazon, and Michaels to save time and cut impulse spending. Set up orders through apps, hit free shipping thresholds, and delegate cart-filling to your team with approval.
Hey, I'm Donna Bordeaux with pyopaccounting.com One of the things that I've realized in our recent crisis is how much time we spend going to the store and how much we purchased that we didn't mean to go for. I have thoroughly enjoyed doing all of my grocery shopping by delivery or pickup and not having to go in the store. Same with my Sam's Club runs. Of course I've always loved Amazon and getting everything shipped to me, but especially lately with all of the shopping tasks, my life is a whole lot easier and we spend a whole lot less money without those impulse purchases. So take a look at what you would normally make your Sam's or Costco runs for. So set those up on their app and just order them as you need them most. All of them have free shipping as long as you're spending 25 bucks and I don't know anybody can go into Sam's or Costco and not spend 25 bucks. So set those up for shipping. Save yourself some time. Also, you can delegate a little. Have your managers fill up the shopping cart and you just go check it and check out and make your approvals or give your manager an authorization to order certain supplies from there. The same can happen with your normal shipments from near Michaels and all of the suppliers that you may have local to you that you go to check it out, order everything online or have a team member go in and help you get that ordering done. You'll save a lot of time and money. So that's my tip for the day. If you've run into some others time saving and money saving tips throughout this process in the last couple of months, put them in the comments below. Everybody'd love to hear it.
