HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose Your Store
Select a store that you would like me to shop for your groceries in or request a store you don’t see with ‘Pick A Store’… maybe Idylwilde Farms… it’s completely up to you.
2. Build your Grocery list
Start searching for your groceries items and add them to your list or order from a previous list. Prices are estimated. You can rest assured your final price will be the actual grocery store prices, sales price included.
3. Checkout
Select a delivery date and time, add a tip if you’d like and leave me a note… about your order… what door to leave it at… or just show me some love.

PRICING & FAQs
For most stores a shopping trip with up to $100 of groceries will cost $15. If your grocery list is more than $100 the pricing changes to 15% of the total. Groceries totaling $200 would be $30, totaling $300 would be $45 and so on.
Some store are more difficult to shop in. They may have a larger footprint, stock more items making it harder to find items or be notoriously busy meaning more time waiting in line. To compensate for my time I have adjusted these prices slightly.
You will pay whatever the current retail or sale price is at the store.
During your shopping on the app you will notice prices that are sometimes higher and sometimes lower than expected. Our system does the best it can to give you an estimated store price, but we do not have direct access the store’s current prices.
You place an order by building your list in an Order. Once you’ve built your list, you checkout to complete placing your order. You can edit your order up to an hour before your scheduled delivery window. Any changes made after that time may not be processed.
Other ways to place an order include, the Basket app, by email, texting a written list, or sharing a list from a store or other shopping app. I recommend the Basket app for better price estimates and product selection. When you use this app, you will simply share your list link with me via text message.

Yes. If your rewards card is linked to a phone number, let me know what it is and I’ll use it. If your card uses a barcode, send me a picture of the card and I’ll use that.
Yes and No. If your rewards or shopper card has electronic coupons, clip them like you usually do and when I check out for you they will be applied. Unfortunately dealing with paper coupons is too difficult at this time.
Instacart and Shipt are very enticing with their low or no delivery fees. However, what most people don’t notice is how much more expensive their groceries are.
Instacart and Shipt are both marking up the retail prices of the products. Shopping with me is almost like shopping for yourself. You don’t pay any marked up prices.
Plus you get me as your shopper and not some random newbie each time. 🙂
I have experience shopping for Instacart & Shipt and a 5 star rating on each platform. Product freshness is always foremost on my mind. I do my best to choose the freshest products. Often going to the back looking for a better date, a cleaner package or fresher produce or fruit. I do most of the grocery shopping for my household, I grocery shop for my aging mother and I shop for my 14 year old daughter. I have lots of experience with special requests and can suggest great deals.
I have years of experience with customer service. I will try my best to shop just as you would and I promise to listen to your feedback for future shops. It’s important to me that my customers are happy.
Due to the recent CoVid-19 pandemic, I am extra cautious. I wear a mask when shopping and delivering. I also wear a fresh pair of gloves after each delivery. I have also passed many background checks, for my daughter’s school, driving for Uber and Lyft, Shopping for Instacart and Shipt and even one for a tour to the CIA!
No. At this time ShopSmart does not deliver alcohol or tobacco products.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
I’ve know Ed for years. I told him I had an order on Instacart and he told me to screenshot it an cancel it, that he would shop it for me. Instacart had me days out, Ed shopped for me right away. Everything was perfect and I saved money. He even contacted me about a couple of substitutions.
I’m a first time dumpling shopper after getting tired of instacart charging so much. My order was absolutely perfect! No substitutions, everything I asked for. And, it arrived lightning fast. Thanks very much to my shopper Ed. I’m giving him an extra tip
Today was my first time using Ed’s shopping service and I was very pleased with my experience. He is very good in communicating, sends texts and photos, and he really makes an effort in trying to find all of your items. A couple of my items were not available at my store of choice and he suggested going to a second store to try to find them. He did go and he did find them, and today for the first time in a long time I received all the items on my list. I highly recommend his service.
