    many grocery chains are online now and free delivery if you spend a certain amount. You get the weekly sale prices and can use coupons (they take them off your next order). They give you a two hour window that you pick, they carry everything right into your kitchen. I had zero problems, produce and meats were just the way I would've picked them (you can tell them if you want green bananas, for instance). The staff would call if some item was out of stock and offer a sub with a discount. Always on time. Really, can't think of one thing I didn't like. Why waste time at the store when I can be home with the kids? You may find you don't have this in your grocery chains, then I think it's basically netgrocer and peapod who cost more and do not carry anything. And look at Jet for food, as well, but that's not a site where you can get all your basics.

    in my case outsourcing this for free saved me time, gas and money because I made zero impulse buys. I don't think hating grocery shopping is a horrible thing, you can make those same meal planning lists and just order them online.

    now that I am sharing a home, my father loves to grocery shop, he spends way more than we need, big impulse buyer, goes several times a week. I explained I can do this all online and save his time, he always says no. Probably because he is a diabetic and afraid I won't order his sweets, lol.

      Jet right now is offering 12 mos free with code "curisma" and ten bucks off first order with "tenbucksnow". I am finding it not to be easy to use but for some things we really like the prices have been good. It has kind of strange groceries, kind of BJs-ish. Oh and it sells Kirkland products from Costco- I am thrilled with that because we don't have one and I have some favs from there. It has all drug store, paper needs, laundry and cleaning supply items, so you wouldn't have to lug those home. They have a button to click to compare their price to Amazon. I keep fooling around with my cart so have not ordered yet. I highly suggest watching the videos and reading their info because it is confusing. From what I've seen, I would likely not pay $49 next year but some non-grocery items are way cheaper than Amazon. Take a look, I can try to help if it doesn't make sense. lol.

          I have had an open cart for like a week, lol. I'll have 20 mins and check it out for a while. The best deal I can find is on Blue Diamond Almonds in the resealable bags, I usually get those on sale for $9. On Jet they are $11 but with so much off, they end up being $4-ish. And I thought almonds were going up because they use too much water, IDK. I'm getting the almonds, if I ever bother with this site, lol
