The thread topic is grocery shopping. Plenty of other threads to post general comments about COVID.
The markup for delivery is indeed pretty high. Enough so that it would would dissuade me from the service on a long term basis. For the next few weeks/months though, I consider it a tolerable "cost of doing business" to manage risk.

Yep.....I have no problem paying a premium price for the next couple of months. Safety first. I'll worry about saving money later.
It would be helpful if folks would tell us what area of the country( at least the state) they are in so we can figure out if the differences are regional, state wide or more local. I am concerned that we are having supply chain problems in my area (middle of North Carolina). Things do not seem to be improving here.
Walmart started making people wait in line to get in. The workaround is order online and do in store pickup. They let in store pickup right in.
Just placed an online order with my local grocery store for delivery next Tuesday. After yesterday, spending pretty much the entire day and afternoon on Instacart, decided best to just stick to the local store's ordering system.
No good on Instacart, trying to get a shopper for a store with cheaper prices if no delivery time slots open up .
Social distancing. Also they have arrows on the floor for traffic flow."workaround?" Isn't there a reason for limiting people in the store?
DW's Instacart try was a failure. She's been very happy with the local store ordering. The only problem is it is a week out, like yours. You have to plan and anticipate.
I welcome the governor's actions. It is going to slow down the casual isle cruiser looking for something to do.From comments yesterday by our governor we're afraid our state will start requiring no more than 10 people in any store at one time.
