How many here do online grocery shopping? I've been ordering my grocery's from Giant for the past couple of months. I still get to use coupons, I get a discount for placing the order for delivery at a certain time, and if they got something wrong on the order, they will come back and make the exchange or give you a credit for the item.
I first used a grocery delivery service by phone, a few years back, after a blizzard had us all snowed in. My hubby couldn't get the van out of the parking lot. He had been digging for two days. The cupboards were getting bare, but the main roads were passable. Things were looking bleak. I used that stores service a few more times over the years for emergencies.
Now that I'm disabled and hooked up to the internet I do all my shopping online., but the grocery shopping is really a godsend. Anyone else order online for your groceries and what has been your experience with it?

When we traveled a while about (I believe around 2005) we stopped the supermarket you're talking about. We don't have them in our area...it seemed to be a cross between Meijer & Giant Eagle (those we have here).
As far as I know (I could be wrong) we don't have any that allow us to call or go online to order that are in our community. However I'm a member of some websites (amazon/quixtar) they have many non-perishable items that you can order online and they will deliver them to your house via postal mail. I find that very confident especially if I don't want to go to the store OR if I know they have good quality products that I like.
As for actually shopping for groceries (perishable) I prefer to do that myself...but I am looking forward to perhaps having the option of calling or going online to order groceries.
By the way you may want to comment on some of my discussions I had one awhile back about grocery stores/supermarkets in the future. Have a wonderful day.
