kroger does free delivery. why would i waste my time wandering around picking up boxes or cans when someone will do it for free? It's not 1980 anymore. the only things i in person shop for is meats and produce as i don't trust the pickers to know what's good and what's not.
instacart works too |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm not one of the poors. I could afford to have my groceries brought to me by limo. I, like you, still get off my lazy ass and go to the store. It's not about the money. It's about not being such a lazy fuck that you can't even drag your ass to the grocery store. This of course excepts the severely disabled/elderly/etc... who simply cannot actually do it. My, now, ex-wife started using delivery services and then started with the meal kit services (Blue Apron, etc...) and that was one of the many signs that she had lost her goddamned mind and that we would not be married much longer. There were many many other signs. When we were together we never seemed to have any money. Without her to spend my money on frivolously retarded crap like having groceries delivered all portioned out so that all we have is ingredients for specific meals which would only occasionally be prepared as intended instead of groceries generally, I suddenly have just fucking loads of cash accumulating. Grab phone, click click click click, check out, done. Now I have 2 extra hours and I can finish up this project on a Sunday night and be done. I get to keep working and the food that I need for next week appears too. Did it cost a little extra money? Of course. Was it worth it? Absolutely. There are some really good uses for these services and it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't want to put down the Xbox controller. |

We grow and produce 80% of our food. For the other 20% I drive to the store. Deliver isn’t a thing here and I wouldn’t use it anyway.

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's not always about lazy. I will give you a real example of a time I used it. Scrapeing and painting my old windows on my house, in old clothes, covered in paint, caulk, paint chips and sweat, tarps down and ladder out, been painting for hours. If I run to the store, that means I am done for the day. I have to clean everything up, take a shower, put all the tools away, clean the brushes, blah blah. I am not dragging all that shit out again and starting all over, just because I need to run to the store in time to get some food. Grab phone, click click click click, check out, done. Now I have 2 extra hours and I can finish up this project on a Sunday night and be done. I get to keep working and the food that I need for next week appears too. Did it cost a little extra money? Of course. Was it worth it? Absolutely. There are some really good uses for these services and it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't want to put down the Xbox controller. That makes sense. |

Walmart, Amazon, Doordash, GrubHub. I use them all. I prefer to spend my time doing things I enjoy and that does not including pushing a shopping cart around the store or driving around to pick up take out food. I leave those menial task for the poors.

Instacart. I am more than happy to pay $8 in fees and a $20 tip every 2 weeks so that I don't have to drive several miles to Aldi and waste a weekend morning
shopping. I work from home, and I have them delivered during the day while I'm working. I don't understand equating grocery delivery with being lazy. I can afford to pay for a service to do something that I don't like to do, I'm going to do it. I pay to have my car's oil changed, I pay for house cleaning, etc. |

Assuming no traffic, the grocery store is nearly a 30 minute drive away. Add in costs for gas, my time, eliminating those "extra" things that can end up in the cart, etc. and it's less expensive to have Instacart deliver.

I dont get alot of time off. sure Saturdays and Sundays, but normally I work 10-12 hours a day. M-F. same with wifey. If we want to drive to a Sams or Aldis or BJ's its 20 minutes 1 way.. interestingly its in the delivery area of instacart. so thats 40 minutes total drive time... then a minimum of 40 minutes shopping if we only go to one place.. plus the price a fuel and Wear and tear.. let say the fuel is a wash and equal to the instacart fee. So I pay instacart a minimal fee and save 80 minutes of our time. I talk to the instacart ladies and this is legit part time job for them and it gives them something to do in the middle of the day and they make a decent buck. its win/win for everyone. |
