I just order from Meijer through insta cart and they bring it all to my door.
I use the same things all the time.
I don't have to go out, walk across a parking lot, go through a store, carry groceries to the car, load them in than out at home. Deal with icky people.
All I do is order , put my wagon at the bottom of the ramp. Delivery person brings the wagon to the door, I wheel it into the kitchen. Put stuff away. Done.
Im not all special like you guys.
