Local Service Offers Grocery Shopping & Delivery from Any Store

What would you do with an extra hour or two per week? Sleep, hang out with your family, workout... the list goes on. Local Personal Shopper, Alviena Ross started her own grocery delivery business, to give you your time back.

Alviena started Olympia’s Savvy Shopper in January 2019 as a way to supplement her husband’s income and have the flexibility to stay home with her two children. When we asked Alviena to describe her shopping and delivery business, it became clear that it’s all about the customer.

“My favorite part about running my own business is providing outstanding service to all of my customers on a professional level, as well as a personal level. I shop for my customers just as I do my own family, always picking the freshest produce, meats, and seafood, as well as finding the best prices available.”

Having worked for big name grocery delivery apps in the past, Alviena found that she is better able to serve her customers through her own business. Olympia’s Savvy Shopper is powered by the dumpling app, which allows customers to connect directly with Alviena, choose any local store, and build their list through an in-app product search or by creating custom items. Not only does this ensure customers get top quality customer service, but in some cases, they even save money because of the hidden mark-ups on grocery items that the big name delivery apps often use.

“One of my customers from another platform allowed me to shop for them personally with the dumpling app. Since I shop real time, in-store prices and sales, they ended up saving $75 on their groceries from Costco, compared to what they would have spent with the other app.”

Not only do customers reap the benefits of Alviena’s grocery shopping expertise, the ability to personalize their orders and price transparency (you get the receipt from the store), but they also get to enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing that they’re supporting a local, small business owner.

Here’s what some of your neighbors have to say about shopping with Alviena:

“Alviena is absolutely amazing! She made it a point to contact me for questions, concerns and really took the time to get to know my preferences. Her shopping was quick as well as the actual delivery and it was an all-around great experience. I would 10 out of 10 recommend” - Tyajah P.

“With a newborn at home, Alviena was the answer to our prayers. She made grocery shopping effortless with great attention to detail. A wonderful all-around experience!”- Melissa M.

Olympia’s Savvy Shopper serves parts of Pierce and Thurston counties, to include a direct to door on-base deliveries at JBLM. Alviena shops at any local store that takes credit cards, to include Farmer’s Markets & Co-Ops.
