Skip your trip to the supermarket with these online grocery stores.
Ah, parenting life! When you’re not lugging your children around, you’re carrying your body weight in shopping bags up hilly Hong Kong streets (so not fun!). Then to top it off, if you’ve got tweens and teens, your cupboards are probably bare two minutes after you fill them. Instead of schlepping back and forth 10 times a day, we like to do a lot of our shopping online. To help you out, we’ve sorted out the places that will deliver everything from baked goods to produce. All you’ll need to do now is select the delivery dates!

Eat The Kiwi
You can rely on the Kiwis to know a thing or two about fresh, quality produce. Eat The Kiwi is bringing the best of what New Zealand has to offer, direct from the producer, right to your door in Hong Kong. Even better, it is doing its bit to go eco-friendly — reducing packaging wherever possible and using boxes with a biodegradable lining to ensure that your fruit and vegetables arrive in top condition. Eat The Kiwi stocks everything from fruit, vegetables, meat and seafood (both fresh and frozen) along with cheese and yoghurt, snacks and even pies and pastries! By taking out the middleman and working directly with the producers in New Zealand, it ensures that you receive high-quality food at great prices.
Sassy Mama tip: Keep your eye out for special offers! Each month there is a different free product with every purchase over $500! In April, it’s a jar of delicious Caramel Raglan Coconut Yoghurt (usually $95). Just add the product to your cart and use the code APRIL.
