For me, online grocery shopping can be a real pain in the butt. For one, it’s way more expensive. I pay the fee for the “personal shopper,” and I’m not there to physically see and choose the best deals. And two, they always get it wrong. Always always always. There are either things missing (they were out of stock and didn’t bother to substitute or call to ask my preference), or the substitutions are all wrong (for example, I order a 16 oz sour cream because I need that much for a recipe, and they substitute with an 8 oz). One time Jason picked up the order for me, drove all the way home and when I looked in the bags I found someone else’s entire order!
All that said, I stupidly just placed an online order. I know. I know I know I know. I am so asking it. But you know what? I’d also be asking for it if I tried to take two antsy children into Walmart. It’s a lose/lose and I decided that today, I’d rather lose in the privacy of my own home and car. Oh crap, I just realized I forgot the beer…
Welp, here’s hoping Lowes Foods to Go gets it right today.
I have a love/hate relationship with online grocery shopping. I do it. I REFUSE to take my three children into the supermarket without their father present. It’s too much of a handful. I hate that it cost so much more, I hate that they don’t have all the products I would normally buy off the shelf. I hate that they invariable get a couple of things wrong every order.
BUT
I love the convenience. And for me, at this time, it makes everything else worth it. Kind of!
