Top 5 Reasons To Stop Buying Groceries At The Grocery Store and Switch To Buying Groceries Online
Grocery shopping has become one of the true nightmares of our times. Today we share with you the
TOP 5 WORST THINGS ABOUT GROCERY SHOPPING
1. The Grocery Store Parking Lot - man these things are just nightmares. Especially if you get some snow on the ground and people just decide since the painted lines aren't showing it means it is "park like a crazy person day".
2. The Cart - this is quite possibly the most disgusting part of buying groceries at the grocery store. Do you have any idea how long it has been since those things have been cleaned? I can't imagine they ever get cleaned. Do you know how many babies sit in those carts with messy diapers? Or all the bloody meat that gets tossed in there.
3. The People - don't get me wrong... I am a "people person". I just don't like it when there are masses of them shoving large metal objects on wheels into everything. I just enjoy being able to do things at my own pace and not having to deal with a lot of people getting in the way... and that includes my grocery shopping.
4. The Food - sure... there is a lot of great food at the local
grocery store, but if you happen to be one of the millions of citizens of this country that prefer a native cuisine over American food, it can be hard to find the items you would like to cook with.
5. The Haul - thats right the haul. There are millions of people that don't have the ability to park their cars in an adjacent garage and simply bring their groceries in from the garage. Many people live in apartments and have to climb several sets of stairs. And many others don't have a car at all, so buying more than one bag of groceries at a time was never a reality for these people.
Now, did you know that anybody that has a home (sorry all you homeless folks that are reading this right now. I guess the grocery stores just figured if you didn't have a home, you probably didn't have an Internet connection. I know, I know, you could have a Nokia N95 SmartPhone with wireless capabilities... it's just highly unlikely if you are homeless.) has the ability to order groceries online and have the groceries delivered to their front door at a time specified by them?
There are several online grocery stores like Peapod Grocer and Safeway that have websites that you can visit and order all your groceries, select a delivery time and you're set. There are several available grocery stores to cater to grocery shopping online, just make sure to check that the particular online grocer you are shopping at delivers to your area. There are also online grocery stores that will delivery to anywhere in the United States, as well as APO's. This is a great way for families of our troops to send them groceries from home without having to pay that ridiculous shipping cost!
When you look at that top 5 list, you can actually get rid of all of them if you started buying groceries online rather than wasting your time and energy at the grocery store.
1. The Parking Lot - this is kind of a no brainer
2. The Cart - thank goodness no cart! Well actually, you will have a secured online shopping cart, but they are germ free.
3. The People - It's amazing how fast you can buy your groceries online when you are the only one in the store.
4. The Food - you can find any food you are looking for whether it is a brand name that is only specific to one region of the country or if it is a vital ingredient in one of your favorite ethnic dishes.
5. The Haul - the haul is much more bearable since when you buy groceries online they are delivered right to your front door. You just set up a small 2 to 3 hour grocery delivery time frame window when you purchase your groceries online, that way you can ensure you are home when they are delivered.
