Hi, folks,

If you live in the states of New York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania, and you
want fantastic online grocery shopping, visit:

www.easygrocer.com

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.  The website including all the
store sites are completely accessible.  Here's some basic information taken
from the website.

[Easy Grocer Instructions]

I) Registration
To register simply fill out the "New User Registration" form. All items in
red are
mandatory. Your email will be used as your login name and you will select
your own
password. The address entered in your "User Information" will serve as your
default
shipping address. You can add, delete, and modify addresses after you
register.
II) Stores and Preferred Stores
You may shop in any store you wish. Stores are listed by state, or if you
wish, you
can view all participating stores. However, groceries can only be delivered
to you
if a store is currently providing delivery service to your zip code. If the
store
does not deliver to your zip code you can still shop there but you must
pickup your
groceries. If you are a registered user you can then select preferred
stores. This
allows you to select several stores in your area to be added to your
personal profile.
After logging into the site all the preferred stores you have already
selected will
be displayed. This enables you to save time by shopping at a click. Note:
To add
a preferred store you must be logged in. Select the "Preferred Stores" link
on the
navigation bar on the left side of the screen. Next, enter your zip code
and all
the stores that deliver to your zip code will be displayed. In addition,
you may
use the "View All Stores" link to find a store to shop in. This page allows
you to
find a store in your area and add it to your list of preferred stores.
III) Account Settings
You can modify, add, or delete delivery addresses and credit cards in your
personal
profile by clicking the "My EasyGrocer" button at any stage of your
shopping experience.
Select the appropriate link on the left navigation bar on the "My
EasyGrocer" page
to make your changes. In addition, you can select a delivery address and
credit card
as your default setting. This will save you time at checkout because your
default
address and credit card will be automatically selected as your shipping
address and
payment method.
IV) Begin Shopping
To begin shopping simply select a store link. There are two ways to choose
a store;
the first way is to go to the "My EasyGrocer" page and select a preferred
store that
you have already set. The second way is to view stores by state and select
a store.
Once you select a store you will be taken to that store's Home Page. The
Home Page
will show the zip codes that store currently delivers to as well as the
delivery
charge, pickup charge (if applicable) and the minimum order amount for that
store.
The left navigation bar contains the store's shopping aisles. Once an aisle
is selected
you are then taken to the category page for that aisle. This page
categorizes all
the items in that aisle that enable you to find your products quickly.
After choosing
a category link you will be taken to the product page. The product page
displays
all items in that category. Next select any product(s) you want and type in
the quantity.
Click the "Add To Cart" button to place these items in your cart. Note: You
can only
shop in one store at a time. If you want to select items from more than one
store
then you must place an order in the first store, submit the order, and then
go to
the next store where you want to shop. You can also clear your entire cart
for the
first store by clicking the "Clear Cart" button on the left navigation bar
and then
going to a different store. An individual item can be removed from your
cart by setting
its quantity to zero or blank. Also, at any time you can click the "View
Cart" button
to view and modify your shopping cart contents.
V) Checkout
To purchase your items click on the "Checkout" button on the left
navigation bar
or the "Checkout" button on the cart page. The checkout process is a
three-step streamline
process to save you time. The first step is selecting your delivery option.
You may
choose to pick up your groceries or have them delivered. If you do not have
a delivery
address that the store delivers to then only the option to pick up your
groceries
will be displayed. You may also register a new address at this time. The
second step
is to select the time and date you would like your groceries delivered or
the date
and time when you are going to pickup your order. If you choose the
delivery option
you will be need to choose a specific date and a time range for delivery.
Each store
has its own set of time ranges in which they deliver, but most ranges are
three hours.
If choose pickup, your order will be ready at the specific date and time
you specified.
In this step you will also choose your payment method. You can choose cash,
check,
or any credit card you have previously registered. During this step you may
also
register another credit card. The third step allows you to edit quantities,
remove
items from your cart, and add special instructions for certain items. For
example
if you want your bananas to be green you can type in these special
instructions.
When you are satisfied with your order click the "Submit Order" button. A
receipt
will then be sent to you via email.
VI) Using Shopping Lists
Shopping lists can be created and then reused at a later time. This is a
way to save
time when you routinely buy the same products on a regular basis. To create
a shopping
list, add several items to your cart. At the bottom of the screen, name the
list
and click the "Save as List" button. This list is now available to you
every time
you shop. To retrieve this list at a later date click the "My EasyGrocer"
button
and select the "Shopping List" link on the left navigation bar. Shopping
lists are
only good for the store in which it was created. You can modify or delete a
list
at any time.
VII) Searching for a Product
If you are not sure which aisle or category a specific product is in you
can use
the "EasyGrocer Search". Once you are in a particular store, type the name
or the
description of the product you want to find into the EasyGrocer Search box.
A list
of products will be displayed that match your search criteria. At this time
you will
be able to add any of these products to your cart.
