You guys ever brought your food online?

What stuff do you usually get?

Plenty of times... I assume anyone gets what ever they like to get in restaurants, but now in their homes. I like pizza and fried chicken.

Taco Bell

user, stop buying booze online

>You guys ever brought your food online?
only thing anyone should ever buy online are those novelty size toblerones. If i ever get the chair im asking for one as my last meal

I've bought tea, spices, a big shipment of flour, and some honey online - the first two because they were things I couldn't get locally, the others because they were unusually cost-effective. Also, I once bought something not-food-related online from somebody who lives in Vermont, and as a friendly gesture they put a little bottle of maple syrup in with the package they sent me, if that counts.

For other foodstuffs, I cook nearly everything I eat from scratch, and I actually enjoy the grocery shopping process, so there's no reason for me to look at online shopping in general.

I buy biltong and jerky online, only way to do it really when you live in a shitty town.

I buy spices and shit, especially exotic peppercorns, on Amazon.

Do want chair; eating church Cherios without milk because poor.

I've bought Surge online purely because no stores here will fucking stock it.

Never.
I like the idea because I really fucking hate doing groceries, but at the same time I don't like the idea of not being able to see the actual condition of things like vegetables and meat.

I've also heard too many stories of people recieving half spoiled goods, or if something was out, the packers just picked something else and upped the price accordingly.

nah I live in an area where those grocery runner sites/businesses haven't reached yet. I actually do grocery running as part of my meals on wheels work, but it's not quite the same thing.

Also i'd be afraid to order produce cause i'm sure i'd get some fucking stupid 15 year old just picking up whatever overripe bananas and other shit And considering I don't buy much processed/packaged stuff anymore, it'd just be a waste and i'd be too paranoid to pay EXTRA money to someone to buy my shit for me.

I work for Instacart

AMA!

No.
While it starts getting available in Germany (where I live) I generally consider buying groceries online cumbersome.
1) Delivery times. Sorry, I go to work during usual delivery times. So -- where do they drop it? I have to ask neighbors? No thanks.
2) Fresh foods -- I'd like to see and check the vegetables, meat, and fruit before I buy. Not possible online. I'm sure they have perfect prictures.
3) Laws. In Germany I'm free to send anything I ordered online back within 2 weeks without stating any reason. Even saying "nah, I changed my mind" is already too much to say. So:
3a) I don't want any second hand food
3b) Sending it back is way more cumbersome than just walking the 500m to the next supermarket
4) I just get much better quality at the next specialized market, which is never far away
5) I don't care about the price. I can afford food, without watching the price
6) Just no.

No one is forcing you at gunpoint, dude, like, chill out

It's pretty good for buying non-perishables. But I'll buy fruits/vegetables/meats/eggs myself.

No, because I freaking work at the place that sends it.
Why would I bother paying a delivery charge when I can just do the shopping after I finish?

>packers just picked something else and upped the price accordingly
At least where I work, you won't pay more than what you originally ordered.
And there are quality controls; if anything makes it past those and turns up rotten, you can complain to the driver and get it refunded. You even get to keep the non-rotten/broken bits because it's not worth spending fuel hauling waste back again. Then issue a complaint, get the delivery charge refunded, and the idiot that picked it gets told not to do it again. Too many complaints and out they go.

If you're ordering only a few items of frozen stuff, make sure it's not fragile. Chances are it's going to be tossed around in the tray, and tossed across the loading bay for loading onto the van to save time.

Only if it's something I can't physically buy in my city.

Going to a specialist butcher / green grocer / market and asking them to order in is more time consuming but also means I'm supporting local businesses which I think is important.
