Over a year ago we both had "the plague" so didn't want to prevail upon friends. I googled Kroger and decided to try it. The 1st three deliveries are free and "IF" you want to do more after that it's $59.00 a year. I decided that was a 'small' price to pay than to pay for gas, wear and tear on getting to a store and deciding the right time of day. Remember when the snowbirds/renters get here the stores are slammed. As someone else said, you need to have at least $39.00 in purchases. Deliveries are within a time frame of an hour that "YOU" choose and they're prompt. They'll even carry the bags inside for you. I have mobility issues so this whole concept is a welcomed one. Also, you can know ahead of time if a product is available or not...and you can decide if you want a replacement-item or not. SOME people may not care for any of this or will prefer what they do with another store and pick-up. I forgot to add---frozen items come frozen as the trucks are accommodated accordingly. Produce is fresh and meat items are just as nice as if you hand-picked them yourself. I don't think Kroger is expensive! The 3 free times afford you the opportunity to at least try them before you commit.

I need to have gluten-free items and if I go to the brick/mortar stores, sometimes have to hit 2 stores to get my preferred items. NOT so, with Kroger. Have those who say "they have items that aren't available"---so do the brick/mortar stores. They're minimal with Kroger. NO tipping is their policy! I will say early on I tried Fresh Market delivery and would never use it again. They substituted items and those were move expensive and my "suggested" cost ended up being more. I gave up when trying to set up a Walmart option as in my opinion the site wasn't user friendly.
