I wanted to share with the group that these grocery delivery services are wonderful! I use Instacart but there are others I'm sure. I can go online and select the foods I want, and I receive text messages from the shopper and while the items are delivered to my door. I just love it. I don't drive anymore, but if I wasn't feeling well and I needed something from the store , its really easy to just order it and have it delivered.
I paid $99 a year for the service, I was alittle concerned about that but not anymore. I order $35 of ittems at no delivery charge, and I usually tip my delivery person $5-$8. I usually text message while they are shopping, things like, green bananas please, not brown, etc.
Instacart is a nice service if its offered in your area.

@user_chdb5e8ac - Erin, I'm so glad you brought up food delivery. I totally agree with the value. Ten years ago, when we lived in Boston, we lived on the 39th floor of a downtown hi-rise. At that time, there weren't lots of downtown grocery shopping options and I had a busy and demanding job. I used to order from a service called PeaPod religiously. Having groceries brought to the door was so convenient and I felt the convenience well re-paid the additional expense. I didn't have to get on the T or take the car out to shop. Fast forward to retirement... we now live in St. Augustine, FL. I had a knee replacement in January. It was a pure delight to know that Instacart would bring me groceries during my recovery. My personal experience is that the shoppers are extra careful to pick the fresh and nice looking products. There are lots of situations where food delivery can really contribute to a happy and healthy lifestyle. Glad you called attention to it.

@user-chdb5e8ac I agree with you about Instancart I love it I cant go shopping anymore either altho I go for few items not a lot of groceries . I love instacart they signed me up but right now I opted out as I cant pay the full amount at one time . I might contact them and see if they have a payment plan. Do you know anything about this ?
