We do have a few tips:
Create Lists & Favorites as you Shop
If you are adding something to your cart that you purchase often also add it to your shopping list and to your favorites. You can even make multiple shopping lists. This way next time you shop you can quickly add the items directly to your cart.
Leave Notes for the Buyer
One of Hannafords staff members will be shopping for you. You can leave special notes for any product. This can be especially useful for produce and meat. If you are ordering muffins or other bakery items you can pick the kinds you want in the notes.
Beware of Substitutions
Sometimes the items you chose online may not actually be available on the day of pick up. The buyer will choose substitutions for you and you will be asked to approve them at time of pick up. If the new item is more expensive your total will be more.
Clip Your Coupons
Hannafords has a bunch of coupons that you can clip electronically and they will automatically be taken off your total. You can also bring paper coupons and hand them in to be scanned before you pay.
Learn your favorite Brands
There are a lot of options and searching is easier if you include the brand and type of item. Like "wewalka pie crust" verse just "pie crust". Online you can also see the full nutrition table and ingredient list.
Oops I Forgot Something
No worries editing your order is as easy as 1, 2, 3, but that might effect your pick up time. Go to your account, orders, and online order history. See the status of your order. If it has only been received and not processed you can edit online. If it has already been processed you will have to call the store to see if you can still make changes. Click on view details then edit your order. They will make you go through the "check out process" again. You can also modify the pick up time. Everyone at Highland Hannafords is real nice and if they have time would probably let you add a couple things just before you pick up.
Choosing the Right Time
Your time is actually an hour window. So if you choose 11am the range is actually 11AM-12PM. If you get stuck and you are late the store will call you. It is typically not a problem to pick up a little later. Moms recommend choosing nap time and then the kids will sleep through the "shopping" and possibly the unloading at home.
Hard Cider and Beer Delivered to you Car?
Yes you can get alcoholic beverages delivered to your car, but of course they will ask you to show valid ID. FYI Local Bad Seed Hard Cider and Angry Orchard Hard Ciders are available for pick up.
How to Use Reusable Bags
We are hoping that Hannafords comes up with a better solution to all the paper bags they pack the groceries in. Be sure to recycle yours and save some for a creative crafts or possibly to put down for future apple painting projects. You can also return them to the store next time you use to go so they can reuse them. The only way to use reusable bags is to drop them off the day before. You could run them in or pull in to the to go parking and they will pop out and grab them for you.
