You sound like a *****. How hard is it to make a shopping list and do it yourself?
Jesus. Stress relieving? Lmao. Do you cry when they ask what you want to eat at a restaurant?
Anybody use one of those meal planning providers like Blue Apron? I'm successful AF, so I don't care about cost.
Look, I can't even buy chicken breasts that haven't gone bad when I handle, inspect and purchase them myself. Half the time, **** is already bad. Add another useless, Amazon shitstick employee into the equation, who gives even less of a **** about selecting the quality of my food and, absolutely, no thanks.
Not quite that level of complete POS lazy just yet.

Where do you get groceries? Chicken breasts, like all meat, are usually pulled as soon as the sell by date elapses. Plus, it's chicken breasts. Tasteless protein is tasteless protein.
We shop at Schnucks and The Fresh Market, if those names mean anything to you.
I worked in a butchery while I was in HS. It would blow your everlovin mind to know how much "out-of-date" meat you eat that you don't know you eat. As for chicken, it can go bad in mere minutes. Open coolers contribute largely to this problem. If I can't get it home (3 miles) before it turns, what in the good **** is Amazon's solution?
Yeah, I got fired from that job b/c a woman walked in one day, bought a ham and asked for it to be sliced as thin as I could possibly slice it while still maintaining full slices... ****. So, I did. wrapped it in plastic and called her number. She looked at it and refused it and wanted a refund on nearly a lb of ham, saying it was sliced too thick and that her family would never eat that in a million years.
I told that ***** that she should let those picky ******** starve for a couple days and it would look like a t-bone to them. I got axed.

I like to take my kids with me... just so I can be surprised at all the **** they tried to slip into the cart when we reach the checkout. I love breaking their hearts on the donuts.
Ok, I'm still trying to get a basic cost here. Even if it's free , don't you still tip? so even a $100 bill would cost you an extra $20-25.
I was going to try Grubhub the other night. They add a $9 fee on the bill. A freakin hamburger and fries from BJ's was going to be close to $30. And i'm not sure if that was before tip. Anyone try Grubhub?

Food City offers the curbside pickup here in their stores. No idea about delivery. I don't use it because I do about 99% of the cooking and I'm picky as hell about what I buy. I'm also less than 5 miles from the store, so it's really not a big deal for me to go myself. I could see advantages to it if you just hate going or live in a highly populated area with lots of traffic.
I've used clicklist and the Walmart version, but only when I have a free code for it. They're both ok, but have had mistakes each time. Wouldn't dare buy meat or produce that way. It's a bunch of teenagers who have never cooked a meal in their life who do the actual shopping.
lol I was thinking about how millenials will be paying 5k a month to live in premier and progressive nursing homes at age 30.
Amazon builds nursing home, Google supplies free fiber internet and Govt provides financial assistance to live there. Boom.

Used Blue Apron for a month. It's not a bad deal, and IIRC the meals came to about $10-$12 per person.
Pros:
* Food quality is really good, and simple to prepare.
* Three meals a week straight to your door, which cuts down on shopping.
* Good for portion control and very little is wasted.
Cons:
* If you have to be out of town for a few days, you have to contact them in advance to stop, or at least make arrangements for someone else to pick it up and use it.
Overall it was ok, but you can get the same stuff at the store, and when YOU want to fix it.
I've done grub hub, skip the dishes, uber eats, shipt, and the curbside pickup from Kroger and giant eagle. We have a 4 month old and me and my wife both work and I can tell you with certainty that there is a time and a place where I just want to stay at home and deal with the kid/get ready for work the next day/whatever and have food from a good restaurant delivered to my house/not have to deal with grocery shopping. Some days I don't mind leaving the house and getting a breather and there are some things I'd rather buy in person but if you've done it there is no way to deny that quick and easy delivery has its time and place. To argue otherwise is just to be a contrarian dickbag.
Also me and the wife got a gift for free two weeks of blue apron once - was good food but was more of an activity (you have to prepare and cook the food which takes about 30 mins) than I was expecting. It was actually a fun bonding activity where you cook good food together but it's not this quick and convenient thing. Would be great if neither person in the household knew how to cook but you still wanted a fresh prepared healthy meal but my wife is already a good cook so it wasn't really something we were that interested in.
