| - Shopping at Wal-mart for groceries is basically the equivalent for shopping at Winners for clothes. There's a lot of stuff that used to be kinda cool/good, but now you're desperately sifting through the crap looking for the "good stuff" amongst the chaff, hoping that it's clean. I mean this would apply specifically to anything fresh (meat, veggies, fruit, dairy) the only safe thing to purchase worry free was the frozen and grocery items.
That was at least until Walmart recently began to offer grocery deliveries for all orders over $50. I was a little misinformed because the website reads that delivery should be FREE after $50 spent but for some reason, it comes with a $10 charge. My one qualm with this process.
Now, I should state, I hate grocery shopping, it's time-consuming between the list making, the walking, the picking, the checkout, the packing up, the drive to and from, the load in and out of the car, the load into the house, the unpack... holy shit! Is there anything worse? I'd sooner gouge my own eyes out
So back when I used to use Grocery Gateway paying $10 for eliminating all that was a no brainer. Then I started noticing GG was on crack cocaine with their grocery prices (What do you mean a bundle of Asparagus is $13 does it cook itself and sing to you while eating it?) - naturally, I discontinued their services.
But then, mix the low prices of Wal-Mart with that $10 charge and my bill was still about 30 cheaper than me weekly trip to no-frills! AND best of all, I think they saved all the good produce and fresh goods for delivery because everything was perfect - no bruised mini apples, not anorexic asparagus, no grey chicken... perfect all of it!
The world is slowly getting more and more convenient in dangerous ways. If Wal-mart keeps this us they may have a new lifetime customer on their hands. :) :)
