Kroger pick-up service

[rgp]

Did it before the snow storm. It went just as advertised, on line ordering , very easy...pay [by debit card]. Went to the store for pickup @ the designated time [very busy, I assume due to the coming storm] Wait time six minutes, they brought out my order, placed it in my truck, away I go. Checked the order @ home, all good.

I think this is going to be my future shopping method.

Every larger grocery chain seems to be going that route. Eventually, we will all have minimum interactions with each other. I think we will be the worse, for it.

Most Supermarkets here do home delivery, have done
for years, they used to charge, but I believe that if
you spend over a certain amount, then the delivery
is free.

My brother is handicapped and uses it, he told me about
the charging system.

To go and pick up your shopping order the system is called,
"Click & Collect".

Thanks for the report!

I'm glad that you had good results.

I'm all in favor of any service that may help people to age in place at a price they can afford.

I used the Kroger click list option once when I did not feel like going into the store. The first 3 times are free then the charge is 3.95 which is not bad when you are handicapped like me. I was worried about the expiration date on the milk and the frozen things staying frozen. The young man who loaded my things said they make sure there us a long expiration date and frozen and cold things are kept in a cooler. My ice cream sandwiches were frozen and the milk had a 10 day sell by date. I was very pleased with the service and will use it when I am having a bad day or the weather is forecasted to be bad.

Kroger's service is called ClickList.. Walmart has a grocery pickup service in my area too. You order online, and then go pick up your already shopped for stuff at the store.

Shipt is different. It's affiliated with a variety of stores in my area....Publix, Target, Costco, and Kroger too. You list what you want online from whichever of these stores, and your Shipt shopper pulls the items, in touch with you the whole time to see what substitutes will be acceptable if they're out of the thing you want, asking whatever questions if something's not clear, and then delivers right to your doorstep.

There are similar apps here for food delivery too. Gone are the days when the store itself offered delivery. Now, through UberEats as one example, DoorDash as another, you can order from any restaurant and with those apps you can have it delivered straight to your door.

Do these services cost? Yeah, but considering the cost of gas and wear and tear on vehicles, not to mention the wear and tear on my nerves, sometimes it's just the best option!

I tend to agree with the points you note....not sure what the effect will really be, but.

Walking around a Kroger store is just too painful , and in this weather [cold hurts the bones] I am grateful for the service. One trip out to my truck, one trip back in with the goodies....Thank you to who ever thought of it.

When we were children, local stores delivered. Before that, they always delivered, but maybe not in quantities we get today. It's nothing new.

New?...No...but it was something that disappeared for many years. Just like milk delivery, bakery delivery & for the most part drugstore delivery. Drugstore delivery [is] returning. Considering the aging of America IMO, that is a good thing.

I received an email & a robo call from Walgreens asking if i would be interested sighing up for it.

I saw a new, to me, delivery service advertised by one of our local wine & liquor dealers called Drizly.

It reminded me of the corner liquor stores that used to deliver years ago.

Another good one, it creates a job(s) for those that may want/need one....and it helps those that need it.

Finally, a good reason for me to start drinking again! layful:nthego:

Yes, outsourced delivery services are big now. Grocery stores are starting to use them instead of delivering themselves; many restaurants that have never delivered before now pay these delivery vendors to pick up and deliver to us for a fee.

When I was a kid, not all moms in our neighborhood had cars, so bread, milk, dry cleaners, groceries, medicines could all be delivered. Dads called just before leaving work; "do you need me to pick up anything on the way home?"

My daughter uses doordash a lot. She is a regular user of Walmart pu for her groceries.

We don't have Krogers or snow here.

I'm glad stores and supermarkets have those services, I've seen store workers gathering customer's orders in the store. I don't need the service now, but if I do, it'll be good to have the things delivered or waiting to be loaded into my car.
