That grocery-shopping apps are now a 'thing' shouldn't be too surprising to anyone, seeing as how there are apps for pretty much every service you can think of.
When you break grocery-shopping down, it actually involves a number of steps. You have to know what products you want to buy, locate a grocery store that sells those products at a price that is reasonable to you, get yourself to the physical store, select your products, pay for them and physically take them home.
What grocery-shopping apps do is make it possible to carry out one or more of those functions from the comfort of your smartphone.
There certainly is a charm to going to a brick-and-mortar grocery and a satisfaction associated with getting your grocery shopping done, but these grocery-shopping apps will help save time, money and effort and that can only be a good thing.
