I'm in Jersey too, OneEyedDiva, Union County, near Elizabeth.
I have used Door Dash for groceries. Works great, arrives quickly, but pretty expensive. Range of products, but not as extensive
as a store. But, you know, plenty of options.
++++
I have also used Peapod, through Stop and Shop.
I use that for heavy items and for non-refrigerated items...and it works great for that.
But Peapod does not use refrigerated trucks. They just pack the stuff in dry ice the night before.
So, I stay away from cold cuts, tuna salad...all that.
When I first started ordering, many things would come to the house room temperature. So, I stopped getting the items that really needed refrigeration...like milk, butter, cheese, etc. etc. etc.
I will buy bananas, oranges, and whole foods. And that also works out well.
I think you wind up paying about 10% more than you would if you went to the store yourself.
(I have a lot of injuries from accidents. I do shop, but getting things from Peapod does help).
I also know that some Shop Rite stores will deliver. I think you have to call the manager. I have not tried them though.
Best of luck...
