Sun In My Belly also has a nice little market going on.
They sell booze too!
The Pantry downtown has also been doing a similar thing with local farms. Think this would be nice to continue after COVID assuming its economical
I don’t know if you meant economical for them or for us. Pricing on Electric Provisions isn’t as bad as I expected, but economical isn’t the first thing that comes to mind.
Well time is money.
So economical is relative.
We use Kroger & 365 delivery, and fill in with purchases from Savi, Candler Market, Oakhurst Market, and Sun In My Belly market..
If you make six figures a year, or a couple of hundred bucks an hour– it’s economical.
I got my second delivery from Kroger yesterday. The first time I tried it, it didn’t go so well.
I think I’ve got the knack of it now, and know it’s limitations, and manage my expectations.
Well I was delighted with the results yesterday–
EXCEPT
When I went to put some shredded parm on my pizza last night, the inner plastic seal on the container had been torn off, and someone had helped themselves to a handful of cheese.
EEEW!!!!
It’s called a service charge.
I paid 10 bucks for the service, and a twenty dollar tip to the shopper/delivery person!
And I really don’t think it was her, because she seemed kinda like a pro shopper– who would never do something like that.
However, some delivery looking dude once pulled up in front of my house and started
taking/eating just enough food out of a bag so that it might not be missed.
Here’s a tip to food establishments using a delivery service.
STAPLE or TIE your bags shut!!!
