I live in Knoxville Tn and I do this at the Food City only 5.00 and I get good service. You can also do this at a couple of Kroger Marketplaces but I have not used them yet. I highly recommend this service.

My #1Granddaughter lives in Knoxville with her family.  I'll send her a copy of your post so she can check into this. She has a 16 month old, and it might make life easier for her.

Wish we had something like that here - getting older and dragging my sometimes tired body through the grocery gets old lately.  Thanks for your post.

ShopRite (and one or two other supermarkets) offer the service in S.E. PA.  Pickup costs $10.00; delivery is an additional $16.95.

I had never heard of this before so in looking it up I found that Walmart has free curb side pick service in some markets and is expanding.  Here is the article if you would like to check if it's available in your area:

We don't have this where I live in WI.  Last year when I was going through chemo, I couldn't walk around a grocery store.  I checked all the stores to make sure.  I thought that sound like a good entrepreneur opportunity.

Thanks for triggering Knoxville memories.  I shopped food city when I lived there in 1996.

Wow, that's a lot of money.  Glad I love to food shop; I would not want to have to pay those prices for pick up or delivery.  I shop at ShopRite as well.  Ours offers home delivery but I don't know what the cost is.  Never heard of curbside pick up at food stores.

25 years ago our locally owned grocery store had this with no extra charge for you to pick it up in the store, or they would deliver it to your house for $5.  Unfortunately, this service and the store are long gone.

When we were young and the family had one car, my mother always had groceries delivered, otherwise it was a ten block walk with the radio flyer wagon.

I do this all the time now. Most grocery stores here that provide this service have the option of the customer paying $5.00 per trip or for $99.00 per year. You can have unlimited visits if you want. This helps if you forgot the milk etc. and do not want to pay another 5 bucks for a single item or two.

I would recommend that you try the different stores to see which one is best before  making a commitment. The first store that I tried did a great job except for one thing. The produce that I was receiving was tired. I did not like paying full price and felt they were taking advantage. I moved on and tried several until I found one that gave me first quality everytime.

This has been such a popular service that other stores in my area are having to offer it now to remain competitive. It has been worth every penny to me.

This is like admitting I'm a dinosaur but I remember when most grocery stores offered this service free of charge.  Like the dinosaur the service disappeared sometime in the 1960s.  Glad to see it is coming back even if there is a charge.  I wouldn't use it often but there are days ...

Hoe does the process work.Do you go online and order and pay for this?
