> find these, search for your store name in Google's Blog search.
>
> 3. Print a list and bring this along with a pen to the store. If you are
> more specific on the list, it may save time. Include prices if you know 
> them
>
> to help your shopper locate the exact item. If you are unsure as to what
> they are getting you, feel the container, have them read the label, or if
> you are still unsure, make a mental note to ask the cashier.
>
> 4. Many stores which don't have delivery still list their products online.
> Wal-Mart, Meijer, Wal-Greens, and others come to mind. These may vary from
> store to store but it certainly helps if it's available.
>
> 5. Instead of using plastic bags, get a few of those environmentally-sound
> "green bags." They're usually around a buck and will generally hold more
> groceries. You could also bring a suitcase to the store or take a cab,
> depending on how close it is.
>
> 6. This is certainly a good case to pay a driver. If you have a friend 
> that
> is willing to help out for a few bucks or a dinner, great. Maybe there's a
> favor you can offer in return?
>
> 7. If you have a farmers' market near you, it's a great way to get produce
> and other items. I've found the people working these booths are happy to
> tell you what they have available. You can just go around the market like
> you would at the  convention exhibit hall.

> That's all I can think of for now. And I just made a strawberry-rhubarb

>> Katie,
>>
>> I find shopping online and having groceries delivered to be vastly
>> superior
>> to the in-store experience.
>>
>> Of course, if I just need a few things which I can carry home, it is more
>> economical to drop into the store and have somebody grab the things I 
>> need
>> for me, but here are the advantages, as I see them, of shopping for
>> groceries online:
>>
>> 1) You are able to see everything that is available. If you shop with an
>> assistant, you usually tell them what you want, and they help you find 
>> it.
>> When shopping online, you can find things which you want to buy that you
>> may
>> have never even known existed. It is like being able to walk into a store
>> and actually browse their full selection. I found this quite liberating.
>>
>> 2) It takes far less time.
>>
>> 3) If you are buying more than you can carry, the cost of delivery is no
>> worse than the cost of the cab you would have to call to get your
>> groceries
>> home.
>>
>> 4) Let's face it, many of the people who help us shop are clueless. Among
>> other stories, I have had a guy who didn't know what a grannie smith 
>> apple
>> was and I have come home to realize that my balsamic vinaigrette was a
>> bottle of balsamic vinegar. Sometimes close just isn't good enough!
>>
>> 5) For many products, at least with pea pod grocery delivery, you can 
>> view
>> nutritional information and ingrediants. It gets cumbersome to ask an
>> employee to read the sodium content of every product you consider
>> purchasing.
>>
>> 6) Often, they have costs of foods broken down by cost per ounce or cost
>> per
>> unit. This makes price comparison very convenient.
>>
>> If you need more reasons, I'll try to think of them, but it is the only
>> way
>> I do major grocery shopping.
>>
>> Take care,
>>
>> Sean
