When I don't want to waste my time endlessly walking up and down the aisles, delivery is awesome.

Though I do enjoy going to Wegmans and looking at the standard gauge train they have set up there.

100%.

I don't really cook (I'm learning to though) or clean in the house though either.

I wouldn't know what to buy, so I just "let" the wife order the groceries. They show up every Sunday around 6 or 7 am. I grab them when I get up. The wife puts them away when she gets up and then we head out to Church.

It saves us literally 2 hours a week or more. In my house that's a big savings.

 

[Dacvak]

Also, I live near amazon fresh, so it's actually free delivery.

I don't even understand how you guys are okay with other people picking out your meat or produce

These are the things I won't get delivered, and the majority of the time I go myself for all groceries. That said, if I'm in a pinch I have no issue with ordering delivery.

Have you ever eaten at a restaurant?

 

[DavidGzz]

Never. I eat way too much fruit, and no one is picking that shit for me.

 

[JCK75]

I did once.. when I had covid.
My neighbors across the hall get everything delivered.. I'm not sure they ever leave the apartment

What's extravehicular activities?

Spacewalks. The guy must live on the ISS or some such.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Grocery delivery has its issues, if you're young and healthy for sure go get your own groceries

 

[Sleepwalker]

Yeah I'm not going to go out to the grocery store in the middle of winter at -20 degrees. You got that big bro, enjoy the $4 tip.

In the same logic that means you're gay! If the chef is a man then you're letting another man touch your meat and vegetables!

 

[Lambogenie]

It's such a mundane usually repeated list thing. Now and then pop in, but for routine fruit, bread and milk, it's such a chore, and terrible during weekend end of year period.

As long as the fruit isn't expiring, ugly, it's not that big a deal, but understand there is a risk. But there's the same risk you might grab a dud but not realised, happens to all of us.

Meat, what's the difference? If you are getting pre packed meat, what is the difference? I go to a butcher so can request specifics, but if pre packed is your routine, just order it.

I like going now and then, for the vibe. But every weekend, then I hate doing it.

 

[Goalus]

My wife's boyfriend does.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Dang, who would have thought this would have become the hottest thread on GAF! Move over Sydney Sweeney and Metroid 4 threads, there is a new king in town!

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I rather waste time and go buy groceries myself than interact with the type of people that deliver groceries (not all of them but you know the type).

 

[Dr Cowley]

What's extravehicular activities?

NASCAR on the weekends?

 

[GymWolf]

It's only gay if you enjoy it.

 

[AJUMP23]

Now you also pay more based on financial info they can scrape.....

 

[Toots]

When it comes to groceries - yes, it is. Everything is of high quality, and the bread is incredible.

Actually true, France supermarket have much better quality produce compared to the abominable crap you find in every other european countries i went to, especially in the lower pricing. I won't talk about north america, if you want to get an idea, just ask yourself why to access the french market the US had to launder its meat in Canada.

Still having a semi literate pakistani dude choosing your groceries for yourself is a gamble, and letting him touch the stuff you are going to eat with hands he did not wash after taking a dump in the streets just before clocking in to work is a risk one should not take.

 

[Brakum]

When i order groceries it just comes with the post office. If that makes me a cuck, then so are you which granted this is an assumption, but i will assune that you order things online.

 

[touchfuzzy]

I like going and picking things out actually, I find it very difficult to meal plan just staring at it on a computer screen. I come up with ideas for what we'll eat for the week while I'm going through the store. And you can also see things that are on sale you might not usually buy, new type of products you might not know about, pick your own produce / meat, etc. The few times I've done online ordering during Covid they made some absolutely retarded substitutions for no reason (when I go to the store the next week I can see there's dozens of what I asked for all in the usual spot). So I'll continue to do my own shopping, maybe not for the same manly-man reasons but just because I think it's better for my life.

 

[Rentahamster]

Eating bread, growing feathers, shaking my cute tooshie in the pond, and quacking makes me a duck.

 

[Interfectum]

you're literally handing off the basic job of providing for your own household to another guy

I've seen more and more guys bragging about this. what's next? do you also ask him if he wants to come in and give your wife a little kiss for his hard work?

does it suck being poor?

 

[ResilientBanana]

What's extravehicular activities?

Autocorrect murdering extracurricular.

 

[Laptop1991]

Yeah, Iceland. Asda and Morrison's, straight to my door, i don't have to put up with crowds of people everywhere and queues, it's great for me.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

I like to sit in a chair in the corner and watch as the delivery man places the groceries in my kitchen.

 

[EerieArcade]

Same for me. Tend to use Iceland almost every shop.
