Buying too much Food Online

Just Bling · ‎03-10-2010

So that's the reason we have food shortages.....

so you people who are buying too much food online..

knock it off.

I personally do not buy any food online, I actually like to walk into a grocery store and pick it out myself.....you too?

The only food item I have bought online were K-cups. I do not believe it is the cause of food shortages.

I too prefer to walk into a store and pick out my food especially fruit, vegetables and meat.

I wouldn't blame those who shop online for food shortages. Often those who purchase online are buying directly from local stores.

@Just Bling I do my own grocery shopping, too. I like to compare the brands for nutrition, price and expiration dates. I like to select my own cuts of meat. And for things like produce, I like to look at the size, ripeness, bruises, etc. I don't want some stranger thumping my melons. 🍉🍈🏪

No food shortages that I can see.

Just a problem affording food. I spent $99 and change grocery shopping yesterday and came home with two small bags. I just ran in for some zucchini, apple cider, tea bags and sauerkraut...I added three pork chops and a bag of sweet onions to my order when saw them.

It'll soon be less expensive to just eat the paper currency.

@Just Bling I honestly don't understand buying food from TV. I'm assuming that those who do so are either very far away from food stores or are unable to leave their homes. Otherwise, why??

I have some family who are still shopping online only for a year and half now and will continue on I suppose. I have never once ordered food online to be delivered. That includes take out from restaurants as well. I am too darn cheap to pay a fee for someone to bring me something. I just hit Wal-mart before coming to the office this morning no big deal. No crowds and no lines.

@kaydee50 I don't think it is different than buying anything on tv. Or on line, or from a catalog.

I don't think that is the shortage problem, cargo ships,.dock workers, truck drivers.

Well, first of all food is perishable even bakery items. And it is something I'm ingesting. I would be concerned where it's coming from and how it is packaged.
