Do You Order Groceries On Line?

We don't have online shopping here yet but we do have two drugstores, that stock a variety of foods, and a local family owned grocery store that will deliver if you telephone your order. Both drugstores will deliver free if you have a prescription in your order otherwise it is $3.00. The grocery store has a flat $7.00 fee for any size order. With those options, internet shops like Jet.com and a variety of local restaurants that deliver I could survive for several weeks if I had to.

If I get to the point where I can't get to the market to do my shopping I will probably signup for the local meals on wheels. The food is not bad for the price, $7.75/day for 2 meals, and I like the idea of someone checking in on me every 24 hours.
 

I have heard a lot of good stuff about Schwans. I guess if it were more than just the two of us, I would consider it. We eat a lot of chicken, and I can get a good price on a bulk package at Price Rite. Though I would have to say that having delivery in the winter would be nice.
 
I buy almost everything online including food. Only once in 10 years I've had some "off" food delivered. When that happened they refunded me twice the price of the item. Very rarely do they miss something I've ordered and they refund no questions asked. It's lovely having everything delivered to the kitchen especially the heavy things. Sometimes I get freebies or samples of new products. Delivery is free if order is over $100 and on Wednesdays.

We don't even have a liquor store in town any more. It went out of business. I guess the big supermarket had better prices. But there are two grocery stores and convenience stores to buy it from.

We were on a trip to Gettysburg and DC a few years ago and were shocked to find out we had to go to some big beer warehouse and couldn't even buy a six pack, only a case. No problem though. We just took what was left back to my sister's house in Michigan after our trip was done.

PA is getting better. Some grocery stores are now able to sell beer, fine wines and top shelf liquor and some even have a beer Cafe where you can sit and relax, have a drink and a snack while the wife or whoever does the shopping. To buy most liquors, you will still need to go to what we call a "state store."
 
I prefer to go shopping myself, I'm not very good at making a list beforehand and it's often not until it's right in front of me or I'm wandering around the aisles that I remember what I need!

I usually buy my mother's groceries at the same time I buy mine, it gets to be tricky, keeping up with two list, arranging them in the cart and checking out, arranging them in the trunk of the car...etc....so yes, I would love to have a delivery guy.

I used to do that too when my mom was living. What you might try is bagging one order in paper and the other in plastic. Saves time fishing them out of the trunk.
 
I've been doing my shopping online. It's wonderful, especially if I'm unwell. I really dislike making the list though. I always forget somethings and after I put the food away I don't feel like I have anything to eat.

I need to sharpen my ordering skills I guess.

I do like the convenience.
 
I've been grocery shopping on line for a few years now and I love it. No walking all through the store (I have a bad back), I make a list and in less then 10 minutes I'm done shopping. I also have old lists of orders saved on the site so I look in that first and can order easily things I have ordered before. They arrive at my home on time and they even carry the order into my kitchen, I love it !
