My Hy-Vee (currently USA Today's #1 Grocer) offers both pick-up and deliverry if I buy U$25 or more worth of grub. Which, given today's prices is not at all hard to do. That's how I get pantry items and frozen stuff. Fresh meat and produce - I still buy in person. But the delivery (even tipping the driver) or pick-up saves a lot of time and, especially, effort.
