Is going to the store such a big disadvantage? I work from home, I spend most of the time physically away from people. I do enjoy my shopping. You know, a little bit of interaction with people. I have tried online shopping with delivery when living in the UK. Very often, at the door, it turned out that X, Y and Z was not in stock and I had to go to another shop and find the missing bits myself. Waste of time...



That was pretty much what I found while I was using grocery delivery (Peapod) because I was on crutches. This was a while back and there are generally more options today (though not where I live fr the most part). I'd get substitutions I didn't care for and random common items I absolutely needed for a recipe would be out of stock.

I could imagine using a reliable service again but, so long as driving to the store and shopping is straightforward, ordering online for delivery isn't something I really need.
