This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Food Lion. All opinions are 100% mine.
About a month ago, I noticed my Food Lion had designated several prime parking spots as Food Lion to Go parking, so when I finally had a weekend at home to try the service, I jumped on it.
Y’all, I absolutely loved it!
Food Lion to Go is the best thing to happen to grocery shopping since Food Lion itself!
What is Food Lion to Go?
An online service allowing Food Lion customers to fill their virtual carts with grocery essentials and pick them up at their convenience!
How does Food Lion to Go work?
Customers visit shop.foodlion.com, select the closest participating store by zipcode and grocery shop virtually by adding items to their cart. When finished shopping, the customer checks out and selects a day and hour window for grocery pick-up. A Food Lion associate will gather your groceries and have them bagged and ready for that pickup time. When customers arrive, they park in the designated spots and the associate will bring the order directly to the car. The service is available seven days a week between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. For orders over $35, the fee is just $1.99!
Food Lion to Go Benefits
1. It saves SO much time, and completely takes the chore out of shopping.
What used to be the focal point of your errands is now just that last quick stop you make before heading home.
Too busy to leave the house today or you have just one car? No problem. You can order the groceries and have your spouse pick them up on the way home from work.
Coming home from vacation? Order some groceries ahead of time and pick them up on the way back from the airport!
2. Avoid the crowds.
The holiday season and during hurricane threats – those are the two times I despise going grocery shopping. There are carts and people everywhere and many of the staple items I want are already gone by the time I can get to the store. Using Food Lion to Go means I can shop immediately via a Food Lion associate who knows where everything is and can shop quickly. So I can get my choice of products and avoid the crowds and chaos completely.
3. Shop for the same Weekly deals, Food Lion favorites and fresh food items at the same low prices you’d pay in-store.
When you shop online, it’s just as easy to compare prices between products too!
4. Avoid spur-of-the-moment purchases.
All those goodies by the register and on the endcaps can’t tempt me if I’m not there. It’s much easier to stick to a list and stay on budget!
5. The service works in conjunction with the MVP Rewards Shop and Earn program.
6. Two ways to do your virtual shopping: online or through the Food Lion to Go mobile app.
7. Receive text and/or email updates
You’ll be alerted on your order status throughout the process and be sent pick-up instructions. If something is sold out or unavailable, you’ll be notified and asked if you’d like a substitute or a refund. I was also sent an itemized and printable receipt.
8. Groceries are stored in a temperature-controlled environment until you arrive.
9. There are designated parking spots, and you don’t have to get out of your car at all. An associate will bring your groceries to your car and load them in. All you have to do is head for home!
Food Lion makes it simple and easy to get everything you need to nourish your family affordably while allowing you more time to enjoy life. Check to see if your local Food Lion is offering Food Lion to Go and enjoy Online Shopping with pick up or delivery.

I wish we had a Food Lion. We have HyVee, Bakers which is Kroger with a different name – they bought them out years ago, Family Fair, Fairway, and Aldi.

1.99 fee isn’t bad at all, sounds like a great deal.
Marysa says
I wish this was around when my kids were babies! What a great service to have. So convenient and I think it is a great way to be organized (by shopping online).

I don’t think this service is in our area yet. We have some other companies that do this and it is amazing.

Although we do not have a Food Lion near me (never heard of this chain, actually), I love that they are making shopping easier for customers. The pick-up option is such a time-saver for all of us in our busy lives!
Ericka says
I love these services now that they exist! We can order before hand and just drive up. No hassle in getting the kids out or overspend because my kids want an extra goodie. The best service invented!
Lynndee says
Online shopping is sure very convenient. And I’m so glad that Food Lion now offers online shopping and free pick-up.
Heather says
I wish that we had this where I lived. Sounds like an awesome service!

This is so convenient! I wish grocery stores here are like that now. I’d love to try this, surely will save a lot of time.
Agnes Dela Cruz says
I love grocery shopping one my me-time therapy. And, getting a good service like bringing the goods to you from the store can be a big help!

I am all for anything that makes my Mom life easier. I would have loved to have had something like this when my kids were younger. It was always so hard to take them in and out of stores. What a great time saver, thanks for sharing.
Melissa Dixon says
I agree, I am all about the services that allow you to skip the grocery store and just pick up your things. I am not a fan of the crowds, this is great.
Rena says
Food Lion was my go-to place for groceries when I lived in KY, but sadly here in SC I haven’t found any yet.
Tammy says
I love the Food Lion stores which offer these To Go lanes and bring food to you. I know the moms with kids in the car are loving this feature.
Amber Myers says
Nice. It seems all the grocery stores are providing this service these days. I will have to try out Food Lion to Go one day. Sometimes I am in no mood for crowds.
