Looking for a Grocery Item? How to use our online search function ... |
You can find a grocery item by either browsing the Grocery Aisles like in a regular grocery store or you can use our search function located above the Aisles.
When using the Search, you'll notice that as soon as it starts to find matches it will suggest terms to you.
It is a good idea to be as specific as possible. For example, when searching for candy, instead of just entering "candy", you would start typing the name of the actual candy you want to buy.
If you see what you want in our suggestion list, just click on it. If not then just press the enter key on your keyboard or click the search icon to get the full search results.
Once you get the search results, you can search within the search results to narrow down the selection or start a new search.
If you cannot find the grocery item you are looking for then contact us!

Creating an online grocery list using our Shopping List feature...paper not required! |
If you want to make a grocery list when you buy online at ShopFoodEx then all you need to do is locate each grocery item and then click the Add to Shopping List link.
Any time you want to see whats on your list just click on the Shopping List in the top navigation bar.
When viewing your Shopping List, you can choose which items to add or remove from your cart by simply checking the box.
Just remember, if you want to save your Shopping List from visit to visit then you need to be logged in to your account so we know whose it is!
And if that was not easy enough, you can also add all the items in your grocery order to your Shopping List at the end of checkout.
If only shopping for groceries was that easy all the time!

Same again? Then just order The Usual ... |
When you complete your order and checkout you can tag your grocery order as the "Usual".
The "Set as Usual" option is particularly useful if you always buy the same thing over and over again.
Once you have a "Usual", you can simply click the Re-Order link on your next visit, log in and find your groceries already in your cart. You can then checkout or adjust quantities or continue to shop and add other grocery items to your cart.
And once you checkout, you can make this new order your new "Usual"!
There is no limit to how usual you want to be!

Checking out ... the importance of correct addresses |
You can order your groceries online from your computer and have it shipped anywhere! You can have one address for billing and another for delivery. You can even change where you ship to from order to order...to the office, to your home, to any place in the country!
To get the cart rolling and to begin checking out, click on the Review Order and Checkout button. There you get to see all the items in your cart and make any changes to your order.
First, make sure that you have your shipping details right. An incorrect shipping address can delay your order.
Second, choose your Payment Method and make sure that you have entered your billing information correctly. An incorrect billing address will result in your credit card being declined before final processing.
Third, review the entire order before you place it. If you are satisified with the details of your order then click the Confirm Order button to complete your purchase.
If you are paying by PayPal don't forget to return to the site to set up your Usual order or add the items to your Quick List!
Checking out ... is it usually this quick?

Grocery Item Substitutions ... You say tom-ate-o and I say tom-ah-toe |
Substituting a grocery item means replacing it with a similiar item that we choose for you.
We give you the option of allowing for substitutions for individual grocery items:
- If you WANT us to substitute a grocery item that might be out of stock then simply check the substitution box for that specific item.
- If you DO NOT WANT us to substitute a grocery item then simply leave it unchecked and if it is out of stock we'll remove it from your online grocery order.
Logical substitutions is the rule here. A can of diced tomatoes for a can of diced tomatoes ...
Bottom line? Just leave that substitution box unchecked if you don't want a substitution and check it if you do!
