How We Operate 

FEES & CANCELLATION 

Grocery Shopping and Cost 

Bear Essentials Lake Tahoe is a personal shopper and delivery service utilizing all neighborhood and valley markets and shops. We do not mark-up your groceries and strives to find the best value for our customers. We use all store discount cards when applicable and pass the savings to you. We are happy to share the actual store receipts with you.

 

Deposit 

At checkout, Bear Essentials Lake Tahoe will place a $20.00 authorization on your credit card to ‘lock in’ your order and get Bear Essentials Lake Tahoe to work arranging your grocery shopping and delivery. Once order has been completed Bear Essentials Lake Tahoe will remove the authorization and replace with the full charge.

 

Delivery Area 

We deliver from Camp Richardson to Cave Rock covering all of South Lake Tahoe region. We also deliver to the Carson Valley area, (Carson City, Genoa, Minden, and Gardnerville) on specific days. Please contact us to arrange.
