I have not ventured to the grocery store with both kids by myself yet and was not in the mood to do it today. So instead, I finally decided to try the online shopping service that our Harris Teeter offers. They had a promotion going this week where they waived the $5 service fee, so I figured, there was really no reason to not try it. I did all my shopping online (even the produce) and set up a time when I could pick it up. Then they called me when my order was ready (3 hours before I had scheduled to pick it up) and said I could come get it any time. All I had to do was pull into their special drive thru lane and they brought my groceries right to my car, loaded them in for me and ran my credit card right at the car. I didn't even have to unbuckle my seatbelt! I was a little wary about them picking my produce, but I am very happy with what they got for me. This was the easiest shopping trip with 2 kids ever! And I didn't get suckered into buying anything I didn't need. I think I will do this more often, even with the $5 service fee. I figure that I would probably still spend less than if I actually went into the store (I'm bad at sticking to just the stuff on my list). I hope other grocery stores start doing this, because it is my new preferred way to do my grocery shopping (unless I can go without the kids, and then I don't mind going into the store). Plus, they also sent me a coupon for $10 off my next $50 or more purchase!
