Here is how it works. You go to the grocery store. You pick up your
groceries. You take them to the checkout counter. You ask for delivery.
Instead of bagging your groceries, they get boxed and they put a slip on
the box with your address, phone number, etc. You go home without your
groceries. The supermarket delivers your groceries. There is a small fee
for the service which you pay at the checkout counter.


Still have to be at home (and god help you if you're in the shower or
something) for a 2 hour window.

I don't personally get my groceries delivered but it is really popular
with elderly people.


Housebound people? Wow. Same with students too.
