Today I am giving out a big shout to grocery pick up.
I didn't like it when I first started it, back at the beginning of the pandemic, but the store also wasn't up to speed on it.
Now, it goes like clockwork. I sit at the computer, pick out what I want, go to the store, let them know I've arrived, they load it in my trunk, I bring it home.
Easy peasy.
I had gone back to in-store shopping when things looked a bit brighter, but with the cases on the rise, I have returned to using the pick up option. I also had forgotten some of the things that aggravated me when I shopped inside, things like screaming children, overwhelming perfume scents, and cigarette smoke at the door exit.
Seeing people I know is one of the good things about shopping in the store, along with the exercise of walking the aisles, but I came home and walked on the treadmill. So there's that.
Hurray for options.
I use it for canned goods,frozen foods and such. I will go in and pick my own produce and meats. When I let them do it I tend to get old stuff. Shortens my visit for sure.
ReplyDeleteI shop in the store and wear a mask. I like going to Hobby Lobby and get my exercise in their as I wear a mask. I might use the pick up service if things get bad again.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite local supermarket is just starting to offer curbside pickup. I can't wait to try it out.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it's working for you! I've had trouble with Instacart. But it sounds like you have found the perfect solution.
