Not everyone can do their own shopping — whether due to health reasons, lack of time, or limited mobility. A shopping helper takes this burden off your shoulders and ensures your fridge is always stocked and important errands are taken care of.

Who Benefits from Shopping Help?

Shopping helpers are particularly valuable for elderly people who have difficulty getting around, new parents with limited time, people recovering from illness or surgery, and anyone with a demanding work schedule. Regular bulk shopping for families can also be arranged.

What Tasks Does a Shopping Helper Handle?

The range is broad: from weekly grocery shopping to pharmacy runs and postal errands, to special purchases like gifts or clothing. Some helpers also handle putting away groceries or even preparing meals after shopping. Clarify what services you need in advance.

How Shopping Help Typically Works

You create a shopping list — either via app, message, or as a photo. The helper does the shopping and delivers everything to your home. They pay attention to quality, expiration dates, and your preferences. If there are questions or a product is unavailable, the helper contacts you directly.

Costs and Billing

Shopping help is typically billed by the hour, with rates between 12 and 20 euros. The actual shopping costs are added separately. For regular bookings, a fixed weekly rate often makes sense. Some providers also charge a flat transportation reimbursement.

Tips for Smooth Collaboration

Create clear shopping lists with specific details about brands, quantities, and alternatives. Clarify the payment method for the purchases themselves in advance — some customers provide cash, while others prefer reimbursement by bank transfer. Good communication is the key to satisfactory shopping help.
