grocery shopping

[PGS28]

It depends on the cost for this service, my mood (sometimes I don't mind getting out), and the reliability of the freshness of that particular store's food.

Not sure if I would be interested.  I don't really care for grocery shopping but since the kids have left it's a whole lot cheaper!

I always thought that they should have a drive thru for much needed items.  Sometimes when you only need one item and you have sick kids or aren't feeling well yourself, it would be helpful to have it come to you...but again hate paying those convenient prices.

I PREFER DO THE SHOPPING MYSELF.

I don't think I would want mine delivered because I am very picky and look at the dates on everything, if someone else was doing the shopping for me that wouldn't happen.  I hate grocery shopping but I think that is one task I can not give up to someone else.

Even though it would be nice to have my groceries delivered however the cost and I still prefer to to pick out my own food especially. It would be great if they would come to house deliver them and put them away. That I would love espesically in the winter!

I don't think at this point in my life, I'd like that...I don't know why, but my grandma would LOVE THAT!

I agree. Food prices have risen along with gas prices and the delivery cost would be a big factor for me. Gas prices would factor big into the delivery cost. My budget is limited so I can't see investing in that, but if it was from a really reliable store and the delivery had good customer service I would like if I had the budget for it. It'd be nice to have things delivered when you don't want or can't get out. Especially in bad weather like another member said. I don't think it would catch on a mass scale though, but I would be interested in it if the price was right.

If I had the enough money and I trusted the store where I get my did my shopping I would take the delivery for sure this way I could avoid taking my 2 year old in the store thus avoiding the temper tantrums.

I like to choose my own groceries...but sometimes I wouldn't mind it being delivered.

You did not mention about the conditions (minimum purchase order) of shipping/delivery costs because businesses still need to make a profit. I don’t think it’s possible to get groceries delivered at our door without considering other costs as well. For example, most perishable items and fresh produce will deteriorate quickly under hot weather if not handled by the workers who will store them immediately in the refrigerator to ensure the quality that will be delivered at your door. Who would pay for their services? I think it’s still a better deal to get out of the house and buy groceries the old way.

I much prefer to do my own shopping. It's not my favorite thing too do. But when you have to go out of town to save money (even with gas and food) you really watch what you buy. The meat is so costly in this small town and everything else is usually .10-1.00 more then shopping out of town. I make a list and stay within it. Also buy for a month.

It could be great for some people.  My mom would really benefit since she doesn't have a car.

Maybe the delivery fees would be off set by what you wouldn't spend on impulse purchases.

I've been thinking about milk delivery. Does anyone do that?

I like to grocery shop myself. I think home delivery service is good for those that have a hard time to get out of the house to food shop. I care for my elderly Mother who is 95 and sometimes it is difficult when I have to run out just before dinner for a few things. I don't like to leave her alone and usually do my big shopping when she's in bed for the night.
