Pros: Save some money on everyday things Cons: Bad customer service, and savings not all you would expect, Half price tokens.. a problem
First let me say that I tried Priceline in spite of the bad commercials.. I resisted as long as I could. However, when gas prices went through the roof, I felt something had to be done. So I opted for the Priceline gas card. Now I also have the grocery...

Pros: great prices, website easy to navigate Cons: not for those loyal to a particular brand; heavy traffic can cause delays in receiving prices
Call it less than subliminal advertising. For months, my neighborhood's been bombarded - both on TV and radio - with the dulcet tones of William Shatner beseeching us to try Priceline.com for grocery shopping. Normally, I would have ignored these ads...

Pros: Great discounted prices, convenient, easy to use Cons: Could have some more products
I just bought groceries for the first time last night through Priceline.com. Wow, the money I saved was unbelievable! The total bill would have been almost $40, but my total through Priceline was less than $20. I saved almost $20! Unbelievable!! ...

Pros: Fun and easy way to save!! Cons: Tokens are not what they are cracked up to be
I am starting to get really good at using my Priceline Grocery card and my Priceline Gas card ( that is another review) I thought I would spread the word about what I think really works and what to avoid when using the card. Here are my best Hints.....

Pros: You can save money Cons: You EARN it! It takes time and patience - and persistence.
When I began using Priceline, it seemed too good to be true. As it turns out it was. As they began expanding, their server began to be overwhelmed. I went from spending 15 minutes before a shopping trip to spending over an hour, sometimes 1 1/2 hours!...

Pros: Save $$$, AT FIRST! Cons: Horrible site maintenance, savings don't last long
I was so excited when I first started using priceline. I actually saved $37 on my first trip. But it has only gone downhill since.
At first, I only chose the lowest offered price and was successful at getting the items 99% of the time. As time...

Pros: Save A Lot of Money For Everyday Items Cons: Seperating Items at Register
I am a very frequent priceline user. I first used the service about 4 to 5 months ago. I think this was the best idea that anybody has ever came up with.
I have a husband who likes to eat about $200 worth of groceries a week, which you...

Pros: coupons allow HUGE savings Cons: couponing came to an end
I have been using the Priceline point and click method of grocery shopping since it became available in my area. It is true that the prices can be GREAT, and each time I go pick up my groceries, people gather around in awe. MY trick was to buy on...

Pros: Inexpensive, Convenient Cons: You have to wait for prices to be approved
After seeing the commercial about one million times I too decided to try
the Priceline's grocery service. I must say I am now a true convert. I live and work in New York City, NY as most people know this city is a Mecca for world cuisines. With...

Pros: savings, site, variety, brand names Cons: product availibility, prices are going up
I have been using priceline .com for groceries for about 2 months.
I particularly like being diapers and milk there. I have three kids and we always seem to be running out of milk. The gallon cost me $1.51 whichever brand i decide to buy. Can you...

Pros: none Cons: quite a few!
When I chose Priceline.com's Webhouse for gas and groceries, I was just looking at it for a good deal. Well I found it to be far from a good deal! I have shopped with many grocery retailers and Priceline was only giving you 1/2 merchandise if you...

Pros: Saves money! Cons: Slow website
The William Shatner "Convoy" commercial is what did it.
His ragging on himself in such a fun way finally got my attention. I'd heard of Priceline before, but I hadn't used them. After deciding to check them out, I went to the web...

Pros: payment via cash card meant no more waiting weeks for payment Cons: The Site is DEAD, effective 10/2000.
Author's note: This review was of the "Perfect Yard Sale" component of Priceline.com, which announced its closure this weekend, along with the grocery and gasoline components.
In retrospect, Perfect Yard sale could have filled a...

Pros: Save up to 1/2 off groceries, easy to use, accepted almost all stores Cons: have to choose at least 2 brands, don't always get the one you wanted, have to use a credit card
A few months ago, my cousin told me about Priceline.com. She has an infant, and told me how much she saves on diapers and formula. I was skeptical, but I thought I'd check it out. Three months later...I will never go food shopping without it again. ...
