We decided to try something new and order our groceries online, and then just go out to pick them up. (Delivery wasn't available on Sunday, or we would have done that.)
After a breakfast of fruit, cottage cheese, and potatoes, we took our coffees into the living room and started clicking away.
I was surprised by how easy it was! We logged into our PC Optimum account, and most of what we buy was already there as suggestions for us, so it didn't take long to find the other items we needed and add them to our virtual cart.
You can select the brand, see prices, etc. It took about four minutes to grocery shop and pay. We chose a 1:00-2:00 pick up time. At 12:30 we got a phone call from the store; three products weren't in stock, so they let us choose replacements if we wanted. We arrived at the store for 1:00, called to say which spot we were in (there are reserved spots for grocery pick up), and a minute later we drove away with our supplies for the week.
They are particular about picking good produce, and we were impressed with what was chosen. Our order was perfect - no complaints!
We enjoy browsing the aisles, so this won't become a regular thing for us, but it was really nice on this chilly day. It would be convenient to order online on the way home from a vacation, or if we had a jam-packed week.
Have you ever ordered your groceries online?
Who does the grocery shopping in your house, or do you go as a family? Do you tend to buy the same products quite regularly?
