Shopping with Little Budgie is a breeze:
1) Watch the tutorial video.

3) Enjoy your vacation!

LIST MUST BE MADE ON A MOBILE DEVICE.

*Curbside delivery orders are placed through the curbside delivery option in the Publix app. Contact me to coordinate!

Please do your deli items (meats, cheese, platters, and subs) as it shows in the tutorial so I can just schedule it as an in-store pickup instead of waiting in the deli line. Your deli items will go into a separate section in the app. Just leave them and I will schedule it for you.

Please don’t clip coupons. You will still get in-store sales and I don’t charge mark-ups.

*Publix sales change Thursdays.

Item limit: Try to keep it around 70 items or less. No more than 90 items please, but I am flexible.
Water case limit: 2
Heavy item limit: 9 (large drink packs. Such as 12 packs, water, alcohol cases, etc.)

*Please go easy on heavy items. Extra-heavy orders will be charged $5-$10 extra. I am only one person and most rentals have stairs. Thanks!

STRICT POLICY: I must be paid in full before leaving your rental.

How much does this cost and how/when do I pay?

Please see services and rates above.

$25 reservation/delivery fee (the reservation fee will be used towards the $25 delivery fee) It will not be deducted from anything. It is a prepay for delivery fee and also to hold your spot.

Orders under $500 are 20% or more gratuity option.
Orders over $500 are 17% or more gratuity option.

Stocking:
1-70 items $20
71-90 items $25
Heavy orders $30

Flexible with item stocking limits and prices.
*Please go easy on heavy items. Extra heavy orders will be charged $5-$10 extra. I am only one person and most rentals have stairs. Please also pay attention to multiples of items and bogos as your order can become heavy that way as well. Thanks!!

You pay once I get to the register or upon arrival with cash, check, or Venmo. Please send the grocery total first and delivery fee as a second payment. I prefer to have the funds for your groceries before leaving the store as I pay with my own funds. If unable to due to travel it's okay you can pay once you are free. Though, I must always be paid in full before leaving your rental/home. You won't know how much your groceries cost or have to pay anything until I get to the register.

STRICT POLICY: I must be paid in full before leaving your rental.

How do I make my list and when do you need my list?

Please see the list creation tutorial above. You can download the Publix app and build your list on there then you just give me your login so I can see your detailed list from my phone. I don't need your list until 1 or 2 days before your order. Publix sales change on Thursday.

*Curbside deliveries are done through the curbside option in the Publix app. Please get in touch with me to coordinate.

How will you stock my groceries before check-in?

If you would like me to put your groceries up before check-in time please contact your rental agency for permission and a way for me to get in. If after check-in then I will just get access from you or meet you at your rental.

What stores do you shop at or do curbside pickup?

Publix - Full-service, regular delivery, and curbside. There is an 80 item limit for curbside. I can stock curbside orders but please don’t load up on heavy things. I have only a Toyota Corolla and am a single person. Thanks.

Whole Foods - Curbside only. No stocking. Whole Foods is $100 for curbside because of the longer drive which is two hours there and back. Eighty-item limit.

Chop Shop - (local butcher) Regular delivery only.

Walmart - ($10 extra) Curbside pickup only. 80 item limit. Stocking not available. Please keep in mind I have a Toyota Corolla.

How Beachside Delivery Works

Give me a call and let me know where you want to order from and share your location or nearest landmark. You can call the restaurant and pay over the phone and I will pick it up and drop it off to you at the beach. I can also pay for it and you can reimburse me with cash, Venmo, cash app, or PayPal if you don’t have your card. The same payment methods are used to pay for delivery. You may have to meet me at the closest road or landmark if parking is not available for me.

Party Setup

I offer a simple party setup with your grocery delivery. Party setup includes up to 8 balloons, table decorations, cake, and party favors.

All party decor, cake, and balloons have to come from Publix where I do your grocery shopping. I will pick out and text the party supplies to you to choose from. You can preorder the cake for me to pick up.

Reservation Fee and Cancellation Policy

You have 3 days to cancel before your delivery to be refunded the reservation fee of $25. For example if your reservation is on Saturday you have until the Wednesday before to cancel. The reservation fee is also used for the delivery fee of $25 so it won’t be refunded if I complete your order as it’s actually a prepay for the delivery fee. So the day of your order you’ve already paid the $25 delivery fee so you are just paying tip and stocking.

If you cancel once I have started shopping it is an immediate $40 or $55 every hour I have shopped and you will not be refunded the $25 reservation fee. This includes curbside orders.

If you cancel once I have left the store you will be charged in full for a regular delivery or curbside delivery and not be refunded the reservation fee. I can't take items back to the store. Your items will be donated to someone who needs them.

If you cancel after I have shopped and stocked your rental you will be charged in full for a full-stock delivery and will not be refunded the reservation fee. I can't return your items. Items will be donated.

I know how much it would suck to pay for a service and groceries you won’t even use but still it’s my time and money I’ve used to pay for your goods so legal action will be taken if you don’t pay me. Not fun for anyone!

Where do you deliver?

I deliver to everywhere local. Bradenton, Bradenton Beach, Anna Maria, Holmes Beach, Longboat Key, and some of Palmetto.

Why choose Little Budgie over big business delivery?

The service I provide is better all around! No markups on items, random fees, and ridiculous replacements. I communicate with you every step of the way and make sure you get exactly what you want to pay for. Unlike many Instacart workers, I pay attention to detail and always choose the best produce, meat, seafood, etc. because I take pride in my business and feel respected and blessed by the people I work with.

It's been a long-term dream of mine to do my own business full time. Every person I work for is one more person getting me closer to my dream and I want my appreciation to show in my work. I put the same amount of care into every order and I always make sure you have a positive experience.

Many Instacart and Shipt workers are being undervalued, underpaid, and don't have the time to really care. It's just about getting the job done. The support is horrible when you have a problem for customers AND workers, I believe they don't even have a phone number. You never know who is shopping for you next. Also, Instacart's app is being controlled by a computer and many times there are items on customers' list they never wanted, along with many other technical difficulties.

With Little Budgie, you're getting repeat, consistent great service with someone you know and trust! Thank you for supporting my small business! I appreciate you!

Yall. Amber is the BEST. I wish she lived in north Alabama. If you are thinking about doing this, DO IT!! You won’t regret it. The money I spent for her services, I definitely would have spent if I would have walked up and down the aisles. She was an absolute JOY to work with! ❤️ too bad there isn’t a 10 star recommendation, because she would get it!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amanda B.

Amber was a life saver as she was able to get all our groceries when we arrived. She communicated with us for 3 weeks prior in order to ensure we were happy and knew how to place our extensive food order. I am not the best with technology but Amber was patient and kind. She went far and beyond in that she allowed me to have a walker delivered to her as my mom is 90 and would require one. I highly recommend you utilize her services as you will be able to start your vacay immediately!! Thank you so much Amber!!!
Amalia

Amber was fantastic! She communicated regularly and was incredibly efficient! She even made an extra stop for us! I would HIGHLY recommend Little Budgie Grocery Delivery! Excellent service!
Becky

Amazing service! She Worked with us when we weren’t home and delivered everything inside so we were able to enjoy our trip! Worth every penny and some!
Megan

What a great service! Such a time saver! It was so nice to walk into our rental to a stocked fridge and pantry after a day of travel! And Amber was so nice, pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!
Denise

Please contact Little Budgie for your groceries. She is amazing and so easy to work with. When we arrived on Anna Maria Island our groceries were at our house ready for us. It was so nice not to have to go to the grocery and deal with the crowds after our long drive. We will definitely use her service again when we return to AMI. Contact her if you are coming to AMI you will love it!!!
Karen

We contacted Amber for grocery delivery twice during our week long AMI family reunion. Shopping on the island can be a burden so this was a nice reprieve for us. Amber delivered exactly as she promised. This allowed our family of 17 to enjoy the beach, pool, spa and each other’s company without having the tedious task of driving and shopping. Well done, Amber! Thank you!
Nancy

If you want a personal shopper that picks up on your likes and dislikes quicks and looks out for your best interest then look no further. Amber is the best of the best and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.
Cindy

Amber offers a great service, it was so nice to arrive at our rental with our fridge and kitchen stocked with all our groceries! She was great at communicating, and so great to work with. I highly recommend using Little Budgie Grocery Delivery!
Jessica

Amber’s attention to detail is why I will use her for my grocery shopping and delivery. She also let me know what was on sale so I could take advantage of those items. You will not be disappointed if you use Amber.
Faith

Wow! Amber is awesome! She texted me all updates and was so sweet! I recommend her! She is great!!
Carrie

Highly recommended Little Budgie if you are visiting AMI and need groceries delivered and even stocked in the fridge. She was very helpful, responsive, and not to mention hilarious!
Isela

Amber was great and very responsive to all inquiries. Despite being technology silly, she helped to guide me through everything!! She kept in contact with us and asked for approval, with pictures for every substitution. She provided us with a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend her services. It was so nice not having to grocery shop while on vacation.
Keri

Amber made the start to our trip to Anna Maria Island, from Louisiana amazing and so easy! We traveled with 3 small children, arrived to the island after 10pm, FROM DISNEY WORLD! My husband had a cold beer waiting for him in the refrigerator. The kids had their breakfast and juice ready to go in the morning, we packed lunches and spent the day on the beach. We skipped the Publix rat race and dove right into our relaxing beach vacation. Amber explained the process via text. She answered any questions I had, promptly and detailed. She sent photos of the stocked refrigerator and pantry before she left the rental. I was even comfortable enough to kindly ask her to knock the air conditioning down before she left, so we also arrived to a cold home. Our trip to AMI was wonderful. We’ll be using Amber and her shopping/stocking services again!
