You can get more than food on DoorDash — here’s how to save when you do
This app saved me from 4 errands in one week. Plus, NBC Select readers get access to an exclusive deal.
Why use DoorDash for more than food?
Most people associate DoorDash with restaurant delivery, but it’s increasingly become a one-stop shop for everyday essentials, household items, personal care, electronics, groceries and even school supplies.
DoorDash can save you:
- A trip to the store when you’re busy or sick
- Time when you’re planning events or traveling
- Stress when you need something fast and don’t want to overpay for shipping
How to save even more on DoorDash
Signing up for a DoorDash account instantly unlocks access to a number of deals. Below, some tips on how to maximize savings with DoorDash:
- Sign up for DashPass: This subscription service offered by DoorDash costs around $9.99 a month and provides you with unlimited $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible orders over a certain minimum subtotal.
- Filter by deals: As you browse through the DoorDash app, you’ll find different filters you can select — including ratings, delivery time and deals. Click on deals to find a list of any retailer offering discounts.
- Save on Lyft rides: DoorDash partners with Lyft to provide even more deals to members. Through September 30, DashPash members who are new to Lyft can save $10 on their first two rides. Plus, you can get 10% off scheduled airport Lyft rides and receive two free priority pickup upgrades every month.
- Refer friends: DoorDash also offers users a referral link. Send it to friends and family and if they sign up, you will get $20 in credits when someone signs up and places their first order over $15. Bonus: Your pal also gets $10 off their first three orders.
