so easy, so brilliantly brilliant

I always plan to go grocery shopping saturdays after my class, but saturday comes and goes, and I don't go, I might run out Sunday to pick up some things but never do a full trip, thinking well, I'll just go tomorrow. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Part of the reason I don't just get it over with is because it usually ends up taking at least an hour, often closer to two, because of lines and crowds and having to go to more than one store.

But. But. New Seasons offers online shopping. You can have it delivered for $10 or pick it up at the store for $5. I did it tonight, you can put items on your favorite list, so it gets faster each time, you can just run down your favorites for what you always buy. My groceries will all be picked out and ready for me tomorrow after my class, I just have to call on the way there.

And side bonus, it is easier to stay on budget, because you don't get tempted by cookies or chocolate or whatever. I didn't buy any produce, I'll stop at the produce stand for that, but it was so easy, such a time saver, that I'm amazed I haven't done it before. Because really, I like having a full house of groceries so I can cook healthy meals, but I have so many other things I would rather do on my weekends than spend close to two hours battling grocery store lines.

Does it make me lazy? Or efficient and practical? Either way, it's a good thing.

That makes you much more efficient, not lazy.

Is there a reason you guys don't go during the week @ night?

Good,i'm going with efficient. I loved it. You call on your way there, you pull up in the reserved for online shopping spot, they bring your food out to you, let you know if there was anything not in stock at the time. They are all about customer service, they even gave us free ice cream for being a first time customer. And totally time efficient

Mik, as to why we don't go during the week, we do little trips at night, but the stores are always crowded at night so we don't want to do a full trip.
