29. Online pickup: Order what you want, drive up and they'll put it in your trunk
Sat Nov 23, 2024, 05:31 PM
Nov 23

I like choosing items from the inventory online, with nutrition and reviews, prices and coupons for each item, the weekly ads and search. I get coupons, discounts, etc., pick substitutions if items aren't available.
And I don't have to huff and puff around the aisles. I pick a time, show up then and they put it in my trunk. Cheaper than delivery, usually.
