Food City

Grocery shopping, from list to checkout

Food City is a grocery-shopping app for people who shop at Food City and want to handle some of the planning on their phone. It brings together weekly ads, digital coupons, shopping lists and options for curbside pickup or delivery. The useful part depends on your routine: you can browse deals before a trip, keep a list while you shop, or use the app to prepare an order.

Offers and lists

The weekly ad can be browsed in list or print-style views. Digital coupons can be added to your ValuCard, with qualifying purchases required for redemption. You can also make shopping lists, scan a product barcode to add an item, and sort a list by aisle for use in the store. Scanning can surface related coupons, offers and nutrition information.

Favorites and past purchases give you another way to build a list or order without searching for each item again. The app also keeps a digital ValuCard available to scan at checkout and shows your Fuel Bucks balance.

Planning beyond the next trip

Food City includes recipes and a meal planner that can arrange meals for up to seven days. Recipes can be added to a shopping list or cart, connecting meal ideas with the grocery run. If you mainly want a quick way to check a few prices or make a basic list, these planning tools may be more than you need; if you already plan meals and shop with coupons, they bring several tasks into one place.

Who it suits

This is most relevant to existing Food City shoppers, especially those who use ValuCard offers or want to organize an in-store trip. Curbside pickup and delivery are included as shopping options, alongside in-store tools. Food City is the developer. Its rating is 4.6 out of 5 from about 12,380 ratings, with 500,000+ installs—a useful sign of uptake, but not a guarantee that every feature will fit your shopping habits.
