Between school drop-offs, packed lunches, extracurriculars, work, and keeping everyone fed (again?!), grocery shopping can feel like one more exhausting chore on an already overloaded plate.
If you’re a busy mom trying to stretch both your budget and your time, here’s the good news: you don’t need to do it all. These time-saving grocery hacks actually work—and yes, Gofer.run is one of them.
1. Keep a Running List in a Shared Spot
Whether it’s a magnetic list on the fridge, a shared app, or a sticky note on the cupboard, capture items as soon as they run out. This prevents last-minute grocery runs or mid-shop brain fog (“Wait, do we need eggs?”).
Bonus Hack: Assign the list to a digital tool like Gofer.run—you’ll use it in your next step.
2. Use Gofer.run to Build Your Smartest Cart
Here’s where the magic happens.
Instead of spending time flipping through paper flyers or scrolling multiple apps, Gofer.run takes your list, finds the best prices across multiple stores, and delivers the most cost-effective combo right to you.
No mental math. No crisscrossing town. No stress.
Why Moms Love It:
- Saves up to 25% on your total bill
- Works with your usual list
- Frees up time for, well, everything else
“I sent my list to Gofer before soccer practice, and by the time I got home, I knew exactly where to go and what I’d save.” – One happy (and less frazzled) mom
3. Shop Solo—Or Offload It
If possible, shop without kids in tow. Quicker, fewer distractions, and way fewer “Can we get this?” moments.
Better yet? Send the Gofer cart to your partner or teens they’ll know exactly what to grab and where.
4. Meal Plan Around What You Already Have
Before you add anything new to your list, check your fridge and pantry.
What can you use up this week?
This not only cuts waste, it helps you avoid buying multiples you don’t need (hello, third jar of mustard).
5. Keep a “Repeat Buy” List
Some staples don’t change milk, bread, bananas, snacks.
Having a repeat list ready to go means you’re not building from scratch every week.
Gofer lets you keep preferences too—so your repeat buys are always matched to the best deals.
Real Talk: You Deserve the Help
There’s no prize for doing groceries the hard way.
If someone—or something—can make life easier (and cheaper), that’s a win.
Try Gofer.run and give yourself one less thing to juggle this week.
You shop smarter. Your family eats better. And you get more time back in your day.
