Uber + Basket = Grocery Shopping Made Easy

May 9, 2016 / Virginia

Whether it’s just a few ingredients or a week’s worth of groceries, when it comes to grocery shopping, it’s easy to sacrifice convenience over savings.

Mobile app Basket Savings aggregates in-store product prices, sales and deals, and product availability to enable shoppers to search, compare, and save on their purchases. Now shoppers can head to that store in an Uber, requesting a ride directly from the Basket app.

96% of shoppers still prefer to purchase their fresh groceries at local grocery stores, according to a recent survey by Basket.

To kick things off, Uber riders in Richmond can get free Uber rides to/from the store when they shop through the Basket app. See the full list of local grocers, drug stores, big box stores, and mass retailers HERE.
