While Lazmart and MetroMart have intuitive and more streamlined apps, WalterMart can come across as clunky in comparison with some users preferring the website over the mobile app. If user experience is important to you, we recommend Lazmart or MetroMart over WalterMart.

4. SM Markets Online

The easiest way to have your favourite food delivered straight home is by shopping at SM Markets. The website offers a wide selection of groceries, including fresh produce and meats that can be ordered online.

You pay only when picking up or having it delivered – there are no delivery fees with this service as long as they’re within 5 km from one of their selected store locations. Unfortunately, SM Markets Online is only available in certain SM stores in Metro Manila. Over time, SM Markets Online should pop up in other locations around the Philippines.

5. Shopee Supermarket

They offer free delivery on certain items and well as discount vouchers and have a wide range of products, including food, household items, and personal care items.
