I have to get the bagged cat food online because no stores here sell the
kind that they eat. I sometimes get the pouches online but Winco has
started selling what they eat now. Alas only two or three flavors. I
mainly only get online what I can not get in the store as the vet doesn't
want them eating fish every day. Albertsons does sell the chicken but
unless it's on sale, the price is steep. And when on sale, they only ever
have a few pouches. I can get by the case online.

run out. So much so, we even run out of milk and eggs and other stuff.

We can get that brand here but I won't use it after that big recall. Our
vet recommends Royal Canin and they seem to like it. The vet actually does
sell some of it. Not sure that it is the kind that they eat but the vet
charges a lot. I get that from Amazon.

They're not always the way to go and I think sometimes they screw up. I buy
the pouches of Fancy Feast broths and I try not to pay more than $1 per
pouch if I can help it but I have severe trouble finding the chicken flavors
for that price, if I find them at all. Then one day Amazon listed them but
the two chicken flavors were around 40 cents per pouch. I can't remember
the exact price but it was weird because all of the other flavors were so
much more as to not be a good price.

I ordered a large amount of each of the two chicken ones but they did not
come. About three months later, I finally called on it. They were listed
as in stock and Prime but there was also a disclaimer that the shipping
could take longer. I can't remember exactly what it said. Guy said they
were still out. Then about three weeks later, one flavor came. The other
came more recently but by then I was needing more. Went back to order more
and someone must have discovered the mistake and upped the price. It's not
a good price now.

The canned chicken that I buy is from Sam's Cub but they are not near me and
I'm not a member. It may well be that I would pay less if I were to go
there but, I'm fine with the price that I pay. I am pretty much the only
one that eats it and as canned chicken goes, it's not a bad price.

I find that I prefer to do it *all* online. Working in stores for 17 plus
years didn't help there, I think. There are just some things that I can't
really get online or not often. Like soda pop. Once in a while I will find
a deal that is doable but mostly it's too expensive to get that way. And I
do have to take my mom shopping at least once a week. It's just that the
stores that she needs to go to are not necessarily where I need to go.

Nonsense. Let me give you a link. This isn't the one I was going to give
but it is good.

http://fitandawesome.com/product-rev...h-los-angeles/

Here it is:

http://www.cnet.com/news/amazonfresh...hopping-test/#!

As you can see, some things are less. Some are more. But the big
difference is that Amazon offers things that I can't get in *any* store
around here. As in perishable things. I also happen to *really* like their
meat. No, it is not cheap. I can get really good meat at Central Market
too but it's more expensive than Amazon and overall we don't like it as
well. No matter now as Amazon is no longer an option.

When I did shop there it was only for certain specific things. Mostly meat,
produce and bread. I might add something like eggs or milk if I also needed
that and we were running low. And I got canned refried beans when the price
there was much lower than any of the stores around here. Winco is still the
cheapest and Big Lots cheaper still when they have them. But you have to
factor in time and gas. A trip to either of those places will take 3-4
hours out of my day. So I feel that I need to have to do a big stock up or
at least already be in the area before I go to those places.

Was it at my house? I got them when they did the big Facebook promotion. I
just cooked up a clearance grill pack a couple of days ago. Two hamburger
patties, two pork chops and two steaks. I don't normally like frozen meat
but it was around $7 for the six pieces. No complaints. I didn't eat any
of that meat but I suspect that the Amazon meat is better.

I am very selective what I buy from them too. I see that chef Jet Tila has
a line of food with them but for as much as I do like him, we just don't eat
much in the way of frozen, prepared stuff like that. So far I have gotten
mini pizzas, garlic cheese bread, French fries, chicken strips and bites,
bagel dogs (husband loves them but I haven't seen them anywhere for years),
ice cream, cheese (one of the few non-frozen items they sell) and perhaps
another thing or two that I've forgotten. I don't know how long I will
stick with them. I can't even eat most of what they sell. The delivery guy
is very nice though. I will see how well liked the food is. A lot of it
hasn't been tried yet. And not all of the prices are that good. I have
mainly been buying the clearance items and specials.

I got the Omaha steaks once. Good meat but husband did not like the small
pieces that we received. I don't get that at all. He prefers really huge
steaks. I have gotten around that by simply cutting whatever meat I have
into pieces before I serve it to him. I did do this once only to get it to
cook faster. He understood that if I did this, he would get the food
faster. Since them, I always do the same and no more complaints. He
actually thinks he is getting a big huge steak when he is really getting two
or three small ones. Shhh... Don't tell him.

Funny thing is, not long before I was born, grocery delivery used to be the
norm. Many families had no car or if they did have one, it was only the
one. The woman might call the store or send one of her children there with
a list. Or she might even go in with the list. And then someone delivered
the groceries to her house.

I placed my first online order when Albertsons offered delivery. That was
short lived. We were snowed in and I couldn't get out. How the elderly
delivery man got here, I shall never know. I felt quite sorry for him and
tried to give him a big tip but he was not allowed to accept it. The next
time I looked to place an order, they had a disclaimer saying they would not
deliver in inclement weather.

The next time after that was when I was in the hospital. I actually placed
the order from my Ipad while in the hospital. And it wasn't just for food.
It was for specific medical items that I needed. The items had arrived by
the time I got out of the hospital. So it all worked out very well.

What I liked about Amazon was that I could choose unattended delivery. That
meant they would just leave the food and go. I didn't have to be here. But
I almost always was. And since I am up all night, the pre-dawn delivery
worked quite well for me. Yes, sometimes I might have to stay up an extra
hour or so, but I could get the food, put it away and go to bed. I would
even pay a delivery fee like Safeway charges. I just would not order nearly
as often and place larger orders to make it worth it.

Safeway charges $9.95 and has a minimum order of $150. That minimum is
pretty high for me because frankly, they just don't sell enough stuff that
we eat/use/want. So it was always a real struggle if I did have to place an
order from them. I would have to add on some toilet paper or paper towels
or soap or something that I might one day use but didn't really need at the
moment just to make the minimum. And the other problem was the someone who
was 18 or over had to sign for the delivery. Although I doubt that anyone
would ask Angela for ID if she did answer the door. She looks old enough to
pass for 18 I think. But there was that one time that I couldn't get her to
check the door. I thought I heard the bell ring but she did not. So she
didn't answer. And we didn't get our groceries. That was a big fail.

I just wish I could get that good produce and meat around here. Maybe there
is some store or stores in Seattle that sell it but no place around here.

I started ordering from Schwann's about 7 years ago.

Then I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, and told
I should watch my salt intake, and their meat dishes are
NOT low sodium in any way. AND they're expensive, but
excellent quality.

I still order some things from them when I can,
like their cheese stuffed breadsticks. Heavenly!

Everything is a judgment here, I can just see a few of these posters taking
time to scream out obscenities every few minutes when cooking their
*perfect* meals just to stay in practice for this newsgoup. LOL

It has seemed that the more they expand the quality is going downhill in
some areas.

That could be. I normally see Amazon Fresh and Safeway trucks all over the
place. But I suspect that many will no longer use Amazon Fresh.

Oh really? Well, they did do it for well over a year. And Safeway still
has specials where I can get it for free. Schwans only charges $1.75 to
deliver.

Yes. That's what people used to do because they didn't have vehicles like
we do today. Even the department stores offered delivery so you didn't have
to carry shopping bags around all day. Remember the episode on Leave It To
Beaver where June bought the slip for herself and the handkerchiefs for
Beaver's teacher. You can imagine what happened there. Yep. Teacher got
the slip delivered to her in the middle of class.

I don't have their data base. I looked online. Apparently this notice went
out on the 15th but they didn't even bother to email us. It was just a note
on our account and I hadn't logged into that since the 13th. I did think it
odd though because prior they had said that delivery would no longer be free
and that it was only free through Sept. But I wanted to place another order
so went to my account to see what the delivery fee might be. And there was
none. So they were not clear to us from the start.

Oh! I did get the cheese stuffed pretzels. I think of all the things that
they sell, the only things I could possibly eat are the plain fruits and
vegetables and I likely won't eat those. I did try something that they made
many years ago. It was like biscuits and gravy but instead of a biscuit it
was shaped like a flat bowl and filled with the gravy. It was quite good.

I only placed the initial order because it came onto Facebook right at the
time when I had to get rid of all the frozen and refrigerated food due to
the power outage. But the delivery day was not clear. I thought I was
getting the food the following day but it was almost two days later.

I am on a BP med but am not currently having any problems. I did have sky
high BP in the ER when I had the weird allergic reaction, the source of
which is still unknown but it made my nose swell up inside and out and gave
me head to toe hives, including my eyes. At times I have had very low BP
and I had a Dr. tell me to increase my salt intake. To me this is laughable
because I am one who is not affected by sodium.

I mainly ordered their stuff for my husband and am hoping that perhaps my
daughter and her friends will eat some. They mostly seem to like chicken
nuggets/strips and fries. And I would rather have some in the freezer than
to have them decide that they want to go buy some. My daughter knows how to
find good buys but her friends do not seem to so they will buy some small
portion of some expensive thing. I just hear mention of food then I heat
something up and it usually stops them from going out to get expensive fare.
We shall see.

I did read that too. I was having some issues with them and I wound up
getting a lot of free food. I don't know what happened there. For
instance, I ordered 2 packages of something but got 7 packages. Then I got
these little things of fruit and vegetables with cheese cubes. I did order
one once last year but the eater said that the cheese was weird and not to
order it again. Oddly enough, the same eater ate all of the free ones that
I got. No complaints this time. And another time I ordered one package of
sandwich rolls but was sent three.

We are lucky in that way too. D often buys stuff online, usually things he
can't buy anywhere else but ... we all do what is best for ourselves and it
is nobody else's business.

God bless. I'm not attacking Bruce. It's a discussion. I have no idea
what you think RFC is but AFAIK Bruce has never posted a recipe or
mentioned anything he has cooked that I am aware of. He's too busy
licking your boots and bitching about what I post. I sure hope you and
your royal highness are enjoying it.
