Default Making a Meat Grocery List

Jill, I never check a website for sales...the grocery I use most of the time mails sale flyers every
week. Plus, being the only person I feed, and having no freezer besides what is contained within, I
have no need to "stock up." I like having a flyer in my hand so I can check through it at my
leisure.

That supermarket has an "Aisles Online" feature. That means I can either have a shopper choose
Groceries that I ask for on my order (along with specific instructions for each item if needed), and I can
pick them up in the Sri E-up lane (without getting out of my car), or have the shopper choose and then
the store delivers within an hour time-frame that I specify.

There is a very small fee for each service if the order is less than $100, so I usually send an order
when I can spend that amount.

Both shopping services are a blessing as I can't do a lot of walking. Having them delivered is the best
because the delivery lad brings them upstairs (half a flight), and there are often heavy items, like
water for my Keurig and cases of drinking water. I always tip the delivery person, though they aren't
allowed to accept tips at the store.

The shoppers at thethat do this for me know me pretty well, so they know what to expect in my choices. But
even if they didn't, one can specify...after each selection...any special instructions, plus whether a substitute
(one can say what the substitute can be, or not) is acceptable if the item listed is out of stock.
