I get my groceries delivered because mobility issues have progressed to the point where I cannot walk
into a grocery store, shop, bring the groceries home, and carry them upstairs from the garage in
my split foyer (split level) house. If I spend $100, delivery is free. If I am buying light items like TP,
or other similar items, I can turn in an online order and pick them up in the drive-thru lane. I cannot
carry upstairs a 24-bottle case of water any more; it's just too heavy. It is worth a $4.95 delivery fee
(if my order is under $100), to have the young, courteous, delivery guys carry this heavy stuff up
the stairs. I usually buy 2 cases of water, and 2 gallons of distilled water for my coffee maker, in the
same order. The delivery guys make short work of carrying everything right into my kitchen. For 2
cases, I usually tip $10; $5 for one case delivered with the rest of my order. I love my supermarket
service; I would be lost without it.
