We use Kroger-delivery too. I tried Insta-cart early on for Fresh Market (one time) and said never again. The Kroger-delivery is so easy and seamless. For one year it costs $59.00 for "free delivery" and NO tipping allowed. I agree with Asia that the prices are more reasonable than the stores here. I used to shop Walmart Neighborhood and filled in with Publix as I require specific foods for a food allergy. When W.N. remodeled etc. I stopped going---not only due to the remodeling but the parking lot issues were beyond horrible. During "high season" you couldn't find a spot. Then two years ago I discovered Kroger while we both were down for the count (illnesses) and it was a life-saver. I have an order in now and they'll bring it on "my" day and time. They've never been late. Frozen items come frozen, meat is fresh as is produce. I even put in for Villages Grown lettuce today. Hope they get more of their veggies eventually. I have the delivery person bring my bags into the kitchen as well. Oh---I did stop in a Publix recently to pick up a couple of things and their prices had spiked by A LOT in just a handful of week's time. I'll only stop there "IF" I'm desperate to find something. Winn Dixie might be the same---my S.O. stopped there the other day to pick up something and the cost was way too expensive for what it was.
