Andrea Mathis is a mom of two and a registered dietician whose Insta feed is chock-full of beautiful meals and delicious recipes. When she’s cooking for her family of four, she likes to keep things easy and fun, with a little bit of Southern flair. (We’re kind of obsessed with her waffle BLTs.) But even with the occasional indulgences, as a registered dietician, she’s also sure to keep everything super healthy.

She’s been using Shipt, a same-day grocery delivery service, about twice a week for a few months now. So we got in touch to see how the service fits in with her cooking style as both a busy mom and a registered dietician. Before using Shipt, Andrea says, “my biggest hurdle when planning and shopping for meals was feeling overwhelmed by my huge grocery list and my two impatient kids. I usually ended up rushing through the store and forgetting several items, which caused me to make a SECOND grocery trip within the same day.” Now, extra grocery trips are a thing of the past.

Focus on the Important Things

With Shipt, Andrea can plan her grocery list ahead of time and have it all delivered the same day once she’s ready to order. Shipt has taken all the stress out of grocery shopping and given her time to focus on more important things at home, like cooking with her kids and spending time with her family.

For her most recent delivery, she selected items from our editors’ top grocery picks, and said the experience was seamless. “The delivery process was extremely hassle-free. For some reason, whenever I go to the grocery store, I usually end up leaving an item in my car or even in my shopping cart. Whenever I use Shipt, I always receive all of my items at my requested time.”

Andrea’s Favorite Groceries

As soon as you place a Shipt order, your personal shopper gets in touch via text message and updates you along the way. Delivery can be in as soon as one hour. “The ordering process was super easy, and I especially love how my Shipt Shopper kept in touch with me during the shopping process. I requested ‘no-touch’ delivery and my items were placed neatly at my front door.” Plus, your dedicated shopper is on call via the app while they shop in case you ever need to make any last-minute changes or additions.

Andrea also loves that she can find everything she needs on Shipt, from kid-friendly basics like Annie’s Mac and Cheese to fresh produce. Shipt partners with multiple retailers, including Target and CVS, so just about everything on your list is just a tap away from being delivered right to your doorstep.

Ultimately, Andrea calls Shipt a “lifesaver” for her family. It’s given her more time to cook and take care of work and family, and has eliminated the stress of making multiple grocery trips. From all the pantry basics to many of the items she typically recommends to her clients with special diets, she’s found that Shipt has it all on offer thanks to their multiple retail partners.
