No stranger to the online grocery scene, this electronic hypermart offers more than just produce. You can shop for health and beauty products, home appliances, electronic gadgets, and even home accessories here. There are plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and meats available so for those too busy to go about their Christmas or grocery shopping, this is it. Redmart has recently launched Relay, a service which uses personal shoppers to deliver items within an hour of from ordering. Orders above $30 enjoy free delivery for first-timers, and regular customers get the same perk when they place an order above $49. The site delivers daily from 10am-10pm and you can choose your preferred slot upon checkout.
Ryan’s Grocery
Specializing in organic and free-range meat cuts, this online butcher also carries marinated meats like organic beef roast with herbs, chili and garlic, for those who are pulling together a last-minute dinner party. This is also where you can get gourmet sausages, like beef steak and merlot sausage and even gluten-free baking supplies, legumes, grains, seeds and other ingredients. Delivery services are only available from Mon-Sat from 10am-5:30pm, and it’s free for orders above $100. You’ll have to place your order before 5pm from Mon-Fri to receive your groceries the next day and express deliveries cost $30 (subject to availability).
Superlife Co.
Health nuts, here’s where you can go to stock up on chia seeds, cold-press coconut oil and quinoa for your next raw foods project. The site’s pretty new so there isn’t an extensive list of these 100% organic ‘super foods’ yet, but there are starter kits if it’s your first time on the health bandwagon. The owners have even purchased a farm in Peru to make their venture a more sustainable one, and they aim to get at least 60 to 70% of chia seeds and quinoa there. Shipping is free and takes one to three days, and orders above $100 get 10% off.
