Feeding My Laziness
See this?
That’s how we grocery shop now. Courtesy of Amazon Fresh, all our food for the week was delivered onto our porch sometime between the obscene hours of 4:00-6:00 a.m. this morning while we slept peacefully. Everything came perfectly wrapped, on ice, not a egg broken or banana bruised using eco-friendly packing.
And the best part? Not only do they have my Brown Cow Yogurt and other organic foods, and I don’t have to drag my monster babies to the crowded grocery store anymore… but there’s free shipping and handling for orders over $30. And because my husband should be the in the Guinness Book Of World Records for having ten stomachs while still managing to have a six pack and only .05 oz of fat on his teeny little ass (don’t you just wanna punch him and steal his metabolism?), our bill always exceeds that amount.
Now, while I love perusing through the aisles at Target, I absolutely despise grocery shopping. Half the time I whine my way into getting James to go by himself while I watch the kids. Anything to avoid the crowds of stupid people hurrying to the chip and soda aisles.
So imagine my delight when James sent me an instant message with the words, “Honey, meet our new grocery store,” attached with that link above. It’s currently only available in certain Seattle zip codes, and because God loves me, my fabulous new house happens to be in their delivery zone.
Have I told you how much I LOVE THIS CITY?!
If I could make out with Seattle and roll around with it in the sack, I’d show it some seriously hot lovin’ and have its babies. And considering how much I hate being pregnant and dealing with newborns, that’s REALLY saying something.

Cool

Wow! That is soooo cool. I’ve heard of grocery delivery, but never known it was that easy! Now, if only we lived in Seattle!

i am insanely jealous.

I too, am insanely jealous. I usually make Chance shop too, but I just hate that he never gets things 100% right. Like, he gets 79% of what I send him for, but not always the right brand, or sometimes a slight variation of things on the list. For example, he was supposed to get chicken stock, but came back with cream of chicken soup. He thought they were the same thing, so he says. I think he thought it would irritate me enough for me to say I would just go from now on. (Didn’t work out that well for him.)
You know, he despises shopping just as much as me, but Archer and I could find things to eat around here, he needs cooked foods with tons of variety. Maybe I could convince him to move to Seattle, based purely on our mutual hatred of grocery shopping!! : )

Oh, I would so do this! I despise grocery shopping (unless I have the money to spend on other things since we shop at Super Target!). I’m jealous and hope this comes to our little ‘ol town.

That is soooooo awesome, and convenient. Sort of like the days when the milkman would deliver fresh milk and eggs to the doorstep — only TONS better!! (I love those bins, too. Nifty!) It’s like a magic fairy comes before dawn and starts singing the Oliver musical song, Food!
Food, glorious food!
Hot sausage and mustard!
While we’re in the mood —
Cold jelly and custard!

I am so jealous! I hate going to the grocery store, absolutely HATE it. I could live in Target though, lol.

What do you do with the crates? Do they come back and pick those up? Do you keep them for your next order?

Ok that is so unbelievably not fair! Grocery shopping is the most awful thing in the world and always causes and argument with the husband mainly because he doesn’t eat fruit veggies or eggs but if I could order online he wouldn’t know what I was buying till it got here! Another point for Seattle

I am on the jealous list…so very jealous! I have to go today and I’m trying to find a way out of it.

Safeway has it here in Tucson, one of my classmates is doing it to save time.

Denielle- They pick them up at the next delivery. If you are there to receive the order, they just drop them off in paper bags… but if they leave them on your doorstep, they use the crates. The crates stack, so we just put them in our utility/mudroom.
