All opinions are 100% mine.

How does the saying go? When it rains, it pours! Just when things begin to settle down, life decides to throw a bunch of curve balls and a wrench for good measure. On top of the constant battle of finding work-life balance, the unexpected happens and catches me off guard. Take, for example, the costly auto repair that left me without a vehicle for a few days. First world problems, I know. But aggravating nonetheless. Nope, I'd rather spend that money on that which brings me joy and make time for more important things like family. And good food! We all know time is a precious commodity so whenever I can save time, you know I'm game. This is why I am so excited to be a PC Insiders member. Are you thinking of becoming a PC Insiders member? Get your first month free on a monthly PC Insiders subscription by using promo code "1MONTHFREE" (Offer excludes Quebec residents; terms and conditions apply).

With a PC Insiders subscription, I get to shop for my groceries online and enjoy free pickup through PC Express. There is usually a small fee for this service but, as a PC Insiders member, the fee is waived.

All I need to do is place my order online at a participating store, such as my local Valu-Mart, select a time window for pickup, drive up to a reserved parking spot and call the phone number on the sign. I simply wait in my car while my groceries are brought directly to me. Yes, even during a snowfall!

I absolutely love the convenience of the PC Express service because it saves me the time and hassle of shopping for groceries after work during the pre-dinner rush, when I'm usually starving and end up buying extra food to munch on. But this is not the only reason I love being a PC Insiders member. With my subscription, I get to enjoy the added benefit of getting 20% back in PC Optimum points on select brands and free shipping from joefresh.com and shoppersdrugmart.ca, for example. I recently purchased some pyjamas and leggings from joefresh.com and didn't have to worry about paying for shipping. Yay!

Plus, because I have an annual subscription, I get to apply the cost of the membership towards a $99 PC travel services credit, so I essentially recoup the cost. What more could you ask for? Annual subscribers also receive a surprise gift with product samples shipped to your door. They've thought of that, too! Honestly, they had me at free PC Express pickup.
