Weekly grocery shopping in the Netherlands! Picnic, Flink, AH Online, or something else?
I used to randomly go to the supermarket whenever my wife needed something. The problem is that I’d go in for one item and somehow come out with at least five. So I’m realizing that this is probably not the best strategy for our budget.
I’m thinking of switching to a weekly grocery order, mainly for the basics: school snacks, breakfast, lunch, household essentials, etc. I started comparing prices using Picnic and AH Online, and I noticed something interesting: they seem to be roughly the same overall, but some products are significantly cheaper on one platform while other products are cheaper on the other. Discounts also seem to change quite a bit.
So for people in the Netherlands who regularly use Picnic, Flink, AH Online, Jumbo, Crisp, or other grocery delivery apps:
- Which one works best for you?
- Which one do you find cheapest overall?
- Are there any apps/services that are particularly good for weekly family shopping?
