Order Online and Save Time

Usually I do my grocery shopping on Saturday mornings. My husband and I wake up early, get in the car, and drive to the supermarket. It’s a good time to go, although it’s still pretty crowded. We choose all of the food we want for the week, buying some meat and fish, fresh fruits and vegetables, canned goods, pastas and pastries, juices and sodas, sandwich fixings for the kids, and anything else that looks good. Usually it’s enough.

By the time we get home around early afternoon, I’m pooped. We make brunch, and hang out, maybe my husband goes out and runs some other errands; but after a week of work and a long morning, I’m ready to relax.

Last weekend we went over to our good family friend’s for dinner. They made a real feast and afterwards, while we were talking over some coffee, she told me that she started to buy groceries online. “Online?” I said, mystified. She said, “Yeah, you can get everything that’s at the supermarket, home delivery food, and you don’t have to wait in line or drive at all.”

So she gave me the site to buy groceries online, and I tried it. Thursday evening, I spent half an hour choosing what we would need for the week, and Friday morning it arrived! That Saturday I slept in, and appreciated the beginning of a new routine.
