Wow, that's an excellent price, if you ask me!! I hope it works out for you--what a load off your mind!

Years ago there was a little market where my parents lived in New Hampshire, family owned. She would call in her list and they would drive the groceries over to her and collect the money. And chat for a few minutes. I doubt if they broke even on it, but I'll always remember how kind they were to her. Their name was Wadleigh.

Thumbs up

Wow! He just delivered my groceries....brought the bags in and set them on the table. I asked him if the business was doing good and he said it really was. He said most of his clients are either elderly or disabled.....or both.

Get this......he started this business when he was 16. He's 19 now and just launched a new website for it. He said he was really surprised at the number of folks using it. I was shocked at how young he is. I assumed he was much older especially after speaking with him on the phone. His customer service skills are great. He even called me from the grocery before he left just in case I thought of any last minute things I need. What a sweetie!

I told him I'd use him for all my grocery shopping needs from now on. I am so happy to have found this service. Anyone living in the Atlanta area should definitely give this a try.

Krogers is where I do most of my shopping other than Schwans. DD shops for me while she is doing hers. She's leaving for Fla wth grands for fam vaca and her business combined. Sure wish I could find a local deliver place like you did.

Im so jealous! We need groceries here in this house, but last night I looked at DH and said "please go to the gas station and buy some milk." He did. I am gearing up hoping for a Tuesday first thing run in the AM, but it will wipe me for the rest of the day.

The only thing here is that woman who will get your food, cook it, freeze it and leave your meals for the week. She is quite expensive, but if things dont change, im going to have to rethink the plan. Im a good cook! I dont want someone elses soup or meatloaf. I want mine! she also isnt willing to go buy the raw milk or the side of beef from the place we get our meat. She isnt willing to pick food from the garden. So...my diet would change.

Dej, that's one thing I had to make concessions on.......what I do and don't eat. Plus, the organic things in the grocery store are just way too expensive for me. We have places where we can buy eggs and beef that's not full of hormones and antibiotics but I would have to actually go there and that's just not possible. Plus, it's just me now so I can bend the rules a little.

I just love this new delivery service and it's amazing at what a load it's taken off my mind. No longer do I have to plan three days ahead to get the taxi to come get me.....hope I'm okay that day and don't have any "tummy issues"......arrive home so exhausted that I can barely even put away my groceries let alone arrange them like I want.

I guess what it's all boiling down to is this......I love staying home and would be happy if all I had to do was get the mail and papers in!

Schwans has a lot of already homemade like cooked meals that are either already put together or you can assemble, put in micro and enjoy.

The things I need at the store are paper products, dog food, 7-up, condiments, mayo etc...I could order some of this online but not all.

Isn't it strange how much things change? I used to hardly ever be home. Now, you rarely find me anywhere but home. But I like it. Keeps things uncomplicated.

I have fibro. A lot of us fibromites have the same issues with noise, light, smells, that have been discussed in this thread. One of the things I have learned since my dx is the reason the fibromites react to this is because our nerves are hypersensitive to the stimuli. Makes sense that people with MS would be too, right? Doesn't make any of it easier to live with, but may be a reason for it. And sometimes that helps.

As for grocery shopping, Publix here did a trial run of home delivery. It was a bust. But Krogers is their competition in Ga and other states, so it may be worth it to check with both to see if they are doing it there.

Sally, I use Alice.com for all the things you listed....well, except for the dog food.....and I love it! They usually deliver within 2-3 days and it's so much easier than trying to lug big packages of toilet paper and paper towels home.

For cat food and pet supplies I use Petco.com. I get free shipping and 5% cash back that I can use on my next order.

Plus, I go to these websites through ebates.com so I get an additional 5-10% cash back on the purchases. Every little bit helps!
