s/o MMMisms - do you get grocery delivery?

[kategm]

No

[redheadk]

That was easy. No. There is no grocery delivery in my area. Despite living in a huge metro area in a suburb that has a higher population than many actual cities that make it on a map, we do not have any grocery delivery services.

[justjen]

Not yet... We did do our first Peapod store pickup last week, though

[jln]

Only Instacart delivers in my area. And I have HEB, which is my favorite place ever. So I actually enjoy grocery shopping.

[awkwardpenguin]

On the app, but yeah, pretty regularly. The people I know IRL who do this all live in Chicago or NYC and most of them don't have cars.

[teatimefor2]

I picked sometimes. I use to weekly, now I prefer to go shopping, but if we are super busy or on holiday, I do.

[niki]

Yep! It's aaaaaamazing. A local grocery store near me just started doing it about 6 months ago and I will happily pay their inflated prices to have the service (technically free over $100).

[winecheery]

Yes ma'am. You bet your sweet bippy.

We are ridiculous in that I go to TJ's for specific things (cheese, almond butter, nuts, canned beans) and get WF delivered for our produce and DH's meats ETA: weekly. But I was getting so sick of going to two places every week. Sometimes three, if one place didn't have a certain ingredient. Nope. Delivery is awesome.

[cjeanette]

I know people who do. My grandmother used to have it done. A few neighborhood friends do.

We would if we like the store that delivered. H goes out of his way to a different grocer so he shops in person.

[starburst604]

Yes, often. I get Peapod delivery once or twice a month when things get hectic.

[spk926]

No, I'm too picky with brands and variations of things. I've tried to put orders in before but they didn't have the large selection and types of things I like so I never actually placed an order.

[CloudBee]

I used to use Peapod pretty frequently, but haven't in over a year. I'm just not that devoted to S&S, and usually do a few trips to multiple stores during the week.

[countthestars]

No. I love grocery shopping! And I'm picky about my fruit and veggies / like to see what looks fresh

[anaps28]

I do the online express ordering where they bring it out to your car. When I was back in NY I did pea pod delivery all the time.

[livinthemiatalife]

Back when we had Hy Vee, heck yes.

I don't like the grocery store that delivers where we live now.

[anna7602]

I voted "sometimes." But we just got a car, so that's a game changer. I can actually bring home more than $30 worth of groceries now.

I will continue getting my diapers and drugstore orders delivered forever, though.

[hbomdiggity]

No. I have multiple options for delivery, but I want to pick my own produce. And meat.

[sometimesrunner]

I'm trying to get in the habit of meal planning while watching DS at swimming lessons on Mondays, then ordering after he goes to bed for delivery the next day. I work 2 minutes from home so it's easy to go home. I usually still go to at least 1 store a week, though. Either target or the local place with the fancy deli.

[ribollita]

A few of my SAHM friends do but I like grocery shopping (by myself) so do not.

[niq]

No, I can't get delivery that will cut the number of grocery trips. We live three blocks from Fred Meyer so our "grocery" runs include a lot of other stuff you can't always get at the grocery store.

If Fred Meyer did in-store pickup I would pay like $20/week.

[thatgirl2478]

Not now, but I have.

I loved it when I lived in a PeaPod delivery area.

[luckyno7]

Yes!!!! A local store delivers for $10 or drive thru please pick up for $5. Best thing ever!!!

[steamboat185]

No. I've thought about using Instacart a few times, but it's not worth the expense and DD likes grocery shopping.

[kershnic]

We've done it like 2 or 3 times when we got a good coupon. But no.

[awkwardpenguin]

So I'll say that I'm the queen of Instacart, but the pricing might be too crappy to continue. I recently did a price comparison of Instacart with in store and it was 29% more than in store prices. I'm not sure my grocery budget can handle a 29% increase.

[redpenmama]

Kroger just started online ordering/pickup here, so I'm picking up my first purchase tomorrow. I'm intrigued and want to try it out, but I don't intend to use it weekly -- just for those busy weeks when my schedule forces me to go to a crowded store on the weekends, which is my nightmare.

[lolo]

In December, we tried a local service that delivers from 10 area stores or so, including WF and Target. It's $99 for a year and anything over $35 orders are included.

Right now I get about 2 deliveries a week. I find it easier to meal plan for a few days vs an entire week and it makes me feel better that meats and produce or a big fresher.

I also go to the farmers market weekly and like winecheery, go to TJs for specific items.

[rex]

i wish wegman's did delivery because i would sign up for that.

i hate grocery shopping. it is exhausting.

[Deleted]

I love it so hard. Was thrilled to see a big chain was offering it here when we moved back from the UK (super common there).

We usually order once a week. I have a car but driving and parking, and paying for parking and lugging three kids into a grocery store... shoot me. Yeah, I'm not always thrilled with my substitutions and the produce they pick is sometimes dodgey but mostly, IT IS AWESOME. Saves me a few hours a week.

Also, really saves calories and $$ with no impulse in store buys.

[rikki]

I get a weekly delivery from Artizone, which goes around to local shops in Chicago and picks up whatever I want from each. I usually get things from 10 or more shops.
