For many, Independence Day brings the middle of summer with celebrations revolving around backyard BBQs, pool parties, beach days, and of course, fireworks shows. But it’s also one of the bigger holidays for shopping – to the point where stores are more often participating than not. But with so many stores offering up “best of the season” offers or “lowest prices of the year” it can quickly become an overwhelming endeavor. Share-A-Cart can simplify that process, and give you time to get back to the fun with friends and family instead of huddling over a screen all day.

Collaborate to Save

If you haven’t started your family on using Share-A-Cart, now’s the time to do so. Rather than having to worry about collecting orders from everyone you’ll be shopping for, tell them to build a cart of their top picks and send them to you. Then you can evaluate their carts and keep – or cut – anything you don’t agree with. This way you can keep track of everyone’s purchases and keep everyone on budget.

Build Your Carts Ahead of Time

While some sales have already begun, others won’t start until July 4th itself. But that doesn’t mean you can’t prepare now! Build your carts now then plan to check prices and discounts when the sales begin. After that, you can share your cart with all your discounted favorites with the person footing the bill.

Get Back to Fun, Faster

While shopping can be a lot of fun, it can also be draining as you try to hunt down the best prices for the items you really want. By doing a little legwork ahead of time – and being able to share your cart when you’re ready – you can spend less of Independence Day shopping and more time enjoying the festivities.

Grab Last Minute Goodies

In a perfect world, we’d all have our 4th of July parties planned out perfectly with everything we need in hand ahead of time. But in the real world, things are forgotten. Maybe you realize you need more ice, or the sodas went faster than you anticipated – either way, Share-A-Cart has you covered there, too. With stores like Instacart and Shipt already supported, you can easily collaborate with friends and family to have a last-minute supply run taken care of, even if it’s in the middle of your party.
