Grocery and takeout delivery services

The market is full of inexpensive services that will bring almost anything to a person’s door anywhere, and at any time. Whether you are in search of groceries, medications, toiletries, tools, or takeout, there are a variety of delivery services in addition to delivery options from individual retailers.  Delivery services like Amazon Fresh, Thrive Market, and Instacart enable customers to shop online to have fresh and dry goods groceries delivered within the same day or at a scheduled day and time. Instacart allows for ordering from not only grocery stores like Stop & Shop, Price Chopper, Hannaford, and Wegmans but also drug stores like CVS and Walgreens and retailers like Target, BJ’s, and Costco.  Many restaurants offer takeout delivery via their own online portals or via takeout delivery services such as Uber Eats, DoorDash, and GrubHub. Most delivery services either offer a monthly or yearly subscription fee, or they charge a delivery fee and encourage an additional tip for those drivers doing the delivery. These fees are in addition to the cost of the groceries, products, or meals.
