Grocery Orders-a reminder and suggestion

[irisblue]

Because I am a bit anxious, I went and have a grocery order placed for delivery; the soonest the company can come is Tuesday, which will be fine for me.

Order early, if you want info about grocery delivery, please feel free to message me.

1. Yes, what was once a 2-hour order is now 3-5 days

And do expect that you will receive replacements on items (say, whole wheat versus rye bread), or that many items on your list will not be available at all. Life in the age of corona, that's all.

2. Oh! Ask for early in the day delivery, better shot at stuff

[frazzled]

4. I'm not even getting that option anymore

You used to be able to pick your time frame; now they are just giving you one—and it's a long way out, which is understandable.

3. With so many items out of stock, I can't find

things I need so there's no point in ordering.

5. My problem is that the online order system for the local store

Doesn't carry most of the types of things I usually need - or at least did not as of last week when I checked it out to see if it was practical for me to use.

Most of the things they offer are pre-made meals, which I seldom use - but then I set up my own pre-made meals so I just need the ingredients for making them. See: https://www.democraticunderground.com/115789698

With the new loads on the service, I'll just make the trip to the store once a week for the essentials.
