Life is so much easier when you can do grocery shopping online....

I don't drive, I just sold my bike.
I don't really have the support to go shopping with a friend or family member.
And I'm 5 months pregnant.

Doing my grocery shopping online has been such a life saver. It gives me the opportunity to really sit down and think about my meals throughout the month and budget accordingly.
I am able to check prices and other stores against each other which enables me to make further savings.

What's really good is that yes I buy the bulk but it doesn't inhibit my ability to still get out and about to buy the fresh produce that expires quickly I can pick up on a week by week basis.

My family members have reservations about this method of shopping but I personally haven't had any real issues. Occasionally they substitute items and or don't have it completely but it's rare that it's something I desperately need. Refunds and such are usually straightforward too.

Have you had much experience with shopping online for groceries?

I do grocery order pickups quite often. Saved me so much time and money because I wouldn’t roam around grabbing things I wanted instead of needed.

And I’ve done grocery delivery a couple of times. Once after I had surgery in Louisville, which was so convenient because I wasn’t fit to get out and they were cool with delivering to the hotel, and one time after that when I was recovering at home. We live a good half hour outside of town so to have that option was a true gift to me when it was needed.

They’re always great about informing me of substitutes in time for me to approve or deny them and they’ve even texted me to help reach an adequate compromise when I had a personal shopper through Instacart.

It’s a service I didn’t use at all until Covid hit and it’s become one of my favorite time and headache savers.

I would like to try it as I dislike shopping in supermarkets intensely. But my daughter does like shopping for the meals that she prepares and it's good practice for her housekeeping skills.

I've never tried that, but sounds like a great idea. What do they charge for delivery?
