My Covid 60 hour weeks, Kroger guy was the only person I saw outside of work for 18 months. Spouse was safely in TV while i returned to work up north. 95% of Covid health care had as much as possible delivered, to avoid the possibility of passing on to the public. Many were not symptomatic and in the early days there was no testing.
I am not a fan of Publix, WD, definitely not Aldi. Kroger Delivery in TV, is not only efficient, but cost is less than walking in any Publix. (Our 3 kids are appalled at the prices in Publix)
Never had a missing item, delivery on time. Actually grocery bill is probably less than most, no impulse buying.
If there was a Brick Kroger I would drive an hour like we did Costco Claremont, just to avoid walking in a Publix. We drive to Trader Joe’s and WF’s to shop, so if the store is worth my time I do in person shopping
I know tipping for some in TV is a sore point. Kroger doesn’t allow tipping. Once Costco opens same day delivery to avoid the masses for a couple months is well worth the 5 minutes to place the order. Hopefully same day will be as efficient as up north.
My app scans any item I use and goes to my cart for Kroger or Costco. So never have the I forget ________.
I am out running between 3-4am every morning, then laps, like clockwork every week wave to the Kroger person. Sorbet frozen better than if I travel 10 minutes to grocery. I equate out grocery delivery to those who hire house cleaners. Sometimes you just have better use of time

I’m very intrigued by this as we do shop at Publix in Magnolia Plaza and it’s crazy how busy it’s become just since our arrival in 2022 because of the growth down in Middleton and Eastport area. We shop the BOGOs and sales mostly so we don’t feel like we’re spending too much.
We were Ralph’s (Kroger) and TJ's shoppers at our former home in SoCal with both just five minutes from us in the same shopping center. We miss them a lot. Costco was a monthly trip if there were items in the monthly savings book that we wanted or needed. That was 15 minutes from home. Maybe we’ll try home delivery with Kroger and Costco.
We shop TJ's occasionally as part of a Disney day trip since we rarely stay at a park for a full day, but back home in SoCal it was our main weekly store, with Ralph’s being just a supplement when needed. We really miss having TJ's close to home.
