Marylou has changed my life

I read your grocery post about online ordering at the grocery store and decided to try it today. For $6.95, someone shopped for me and even put it in the car. Bonus, no impulse purchases. I may never set foot in a grocery store again! ({)

[marylou]

Yay! I know the fee may make it not MM for some, but for us it's totally worth it to avoid the impulse purchases. Glad it worked for you, too!

What?? Link, please! (Although this prob isn't available at my local stores...)

I've decided my life would be about a gazillion times earlier if I could find someone to grocery shop for me. Sigh.

I mentioned it in this thread: pandce.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=mm&action=display&thread=28926&page=2

I use Harris Teeter, not sure if they are local for you, but hopefully!

I did this for the first time last week. My grocery charges a $4.95 fee for pick-up, or they'll deliver for $9.95.

I drive right by the store on the way home, so it was perfect! I made a shopping list and weekly menu while bumming around on Sunday, placed an order and picked it up after work on Monday.

I love that. I'm going to keep doing Peapod for larger orders (you need a $60 minimum, which I sometimes don't hit).

[WOT?*]

Albertson's also does it. For the lucky folks in the Seattle area (and maybe others), Amazon also has a grocery delivery service.

Wait is this different/better than Peapod?

I love peapod. I swear it saves me money.

I know not everyone has the same experience, but produce from peapod was crappy and it was generally more expensive than where I usually shop (Meijer or Dominick's).

Those of you who have ordered for pickup/delivery, was the produce selection up to your standards? I hate the idea of not picking out my own vegetables.

We have a local delivery service that shops at several different stores. The produce has been superb.

The produce is meh. This week I got 2 peaches (among other things) -- one was great, the other was mealy. I don't think they spend much time choosing it, but Harris Teeter has decent produce overall, so usually it works out.

Somewhere like Giant (who does Peapod, right?) I wouldn't expect great produce from them.

I am going to check this out. More as a time saver than a money saver. Do you fill out a grocery list on-line for the store?
