Why Not to Use Home-Delivery Grocery Stores

During the dot-boom days, there was some site whose name I can't be bothered to remember, that offered exceptional home delivery of [404 Check: was link to http:/ / www. funnyhitman. com/ shopping. htm, anchor: groceries] . It was so good you had to wonder how they made any money, but low and behold, they didn't make any money, and now I can't even remember who they were.

Still, many of the biggest chains offer home delivery, but I don't recommend it.

• You can't find new products when you aren't wandering.
• They charge more extra than it's worth.
• Nobody accepts food stamps, if that's relevant to you.
• You don't get to shop for value as easily as you would on the aisle.
• Nobody yet offers online melon squeezing, not even the porno sites.
• You can't pick your best cut of steak.
• No free samples of best new products when you shop online.
• Don't you kind of like going to the store?

There's nothing wrong with shopping for groceries online, or home delivery, but there are big reasons why very few people do it.
