Anyone use Google Express to shop?

[teller80]

I see they have 20% off your first order through Oct 31st, but I just can't find something to buy. Last week Target had the 'buy 2 toilet paper get a $10 gift card' offer, but it wasn't available on Google Express. I need new shoes but the pair I want from Kohls doesn't seem to be available there.

Anyone else have good luck with it?

I have gotten some good deals with coupons but it really depends.

In the past, if Target had a "buy x get a giftcard" and you ordered that combination from Google Express, you would generally get the gift card delivered with your order (unless it was clipped by your delivery person). I have also gotten Target sale prices in the past that were lower than what the Google Express site showed - my final, final receipt showed the lower prices. But I haven't ordered from Target via Google Express for awhile, and that may have changed. They've changed pricing across all stores a lot since I last ordered - they used to have pretty much the same prices as in the stores, but now they've upped a lot of them to be higher than the in-store prices. I would go into it expecting to NOT get those things, and then just be pleasantly surprised if you do.

Quick-ish delivery shopping service by Google, with certain partner stores: express.google.com

I get the vibe that Google is partnering with Walmart to try and shake the Amazon monopoly a bit, especially when it comes to Google Home vs. Alexa. But so far I think the Google Epress prices are too high, and delivery still takes too long (I was looking at purchasing something with a coupon code Friday evening, but delivery wouldn't be until Wednesday. I swear it used to be within 2 days.....) The minimum $35 for free delivery is a bummer too.

Thanks for the explanation!
