Do you have your groceries delivered to your house? [View all]

We did for a few months (daughter ordered them, I called her with my list every week). But I didn't like it and the extra tip was an extra I felt we could save if I just did it myself. I would ALWAYS tip the delivery person, tho. Also, I liked visiting food and picking out what I wanted.

I just returned exhausted from a shopping trip. I thought it would all be okay if I made several small shoppings a week but this hasn't worked out so well.

I might go back to having my daughter order once a week and I would go for any extras during the week.

If you order groceries are you happy with not going to the grocery store?
