Do you have groceries delivered to you? [View all]

Due to my age and arthritic back, my daughter is now ordering groceries for me. I think that overall it is a great thing. The dellivery person is always nice and puts groceries in my kitchen for me. It's just hubby and me so our delivery is never huge. Usually about 5 or 6 bags.

Mostly, I get what I had on my list. Often, tho, things listed in the circular weekly are not available, but that happens in the store too.

I include a tip on the bill for the deliverer each time, so they get it. I tip $10 per delivery.

I've found this service to be dependable, on time, and pretty much always accurately filled.

There is a fee but worth it (to me).

Grocery shopping used to be kind of an adventure for me but my back is not up to it any more.

I recommend this service (but of course I can only speak for my experience. ymmv.)
