Vons/Safeway corp & Albertson's both deliver in my area. I alternate back and forth and they both send deals like Free Delivery or net only bonus promos. Service on both is great and reliable. Albertson's has a sort by unit cost feature too. I’ve used grocery delivery for years. Vons/Safeway corp & Albertson’s both deliver in my area.

If I get $100 order, which isn't hard with a family, the delivery fee is about $10. How many times have I left the grocery store having bought 3-4 items I hadn't intended to buy? Nearly always. That's the $10! My main gripe is that the online grocery I use, which is connected to my local grocer doesn't always stock quite the same things. Overall I find delivered groceries to be a pretty good deal even though the prices are a little higher. I always come out ahead having groceries delivered.

Becareful who you use and do your research. My family did this once with Country Pride. We fell for the "Better Than USDA" sales pitch. The meats and fish were horrible.

They now have lots of non-perishable food items that you can buy, and you even get free shipping for orders over $25. I've found most of their stuff more expensive than what I can get at Super Walmart or my local grocery stores, but there are a few things that are actually cheaper at Amazon. Don’t forget Amazon.
