Oh dear god what have we done to ourselves.
One of Meghan’s friends raves about a grocery delivery service called Hills Home Delivery. After listening to their sales pitch, trying some sample food, working out the costs, and checking reviews online, we wanted to give it a try ourselves.
Our first delivery came tonight. This is several months worth of beef, chicken, pork, sausage, fish, and veggies, packed into a freezer in our basement. There’s a turkey and some cookie dough, too. Not pictured is several shelves of dry goods: pasta + sauce, flour, sugar, paper towels, and toilet paper.
This isn’t completely new to us, Meghan already buys her coffee and a few other things from Amazon, but wow that’s a lot of food all at once.
The delivery guys were friendly and professional, and pretty darn close to on-time. (Ten minutes late, but our delivery was scheduled for 5:30 pm — it’s night-time dark already, and rush-hour traffic is in full swing. I don’t consider that ‘late’.)
On paper, this looks like we should be spending the same or less on food than we’re spending now — and we can cut out a bunch of time at the grocery the store. We’ll just need occasional trips for fresh things like dairy, eggs, and fruit.
