Asilver lining that came with the new normal is the convenience of shopping for our groceries online. Here are some tips so you can really maximize your budget and time on your next digital shopping journey with MetroMart, the top online grocery delivery service in the Philippines.

Make a list

Just like a physical trip to the store, go into the shopping platform with a plan, and stick to it. Write down all your meals for the coming week so you know all the ingredients you'll need. If you come across something you like but can't buy yet, don't worry, just click the heart or "like" button and add to your wish list later.

Save through sales

Schedule your checkout time when there's a sale. These are usually during payday periods like the 15th and end of every month. Check out featured items on sale in MetroMart's "Payday Specials" to score a big bargain. In this way, you don't only save with your online shopping by foregoing the gasoline and transportation expenses, but you also get more savings on your groceries and essentials.

Buy in bulk

Take advantage of the wholesale and retail prices of supermarkets such as UltraMega, that's now also available on MetroMart. Re-stocking for your home pantry or for your sari-sari store is now 1, 2, easy, and just a few taps on your phone. UltraMega Supermarket has budget and retail-friendly prices, which makes stocking up easy on the pocket.

Pay and get more discounts

All customers of MetroMart have a wide selection for modes of payment on their online shopping. These include Cash on Delivery, via e-wallet through GCash, or via Debit/Credit cards with leading banks nationwide. Promos and discounts are also available through the different modes of payment availed of by the customer.

Love local

Sometimes, you just never know what kind of food you may want to try or what you'll suddenly need for your home. Never fear, just go straight into your MetroMart app and order right away! Apart from the leading supermarkets, MetroMart has other specialty stores in different categories like hardware, toys, novelty items, pet care, food products, furniture and medicine. It's a great way to check out and support new brands by awesome Pinoy entrepreneurs, all in the comfort of your home and on your smartphone.
