You could order anything you wanted even refrigerated or frozen foods. There was a delivery fee for the service, but if you purchased enough items, then the fee was waived.
We also had a home-delivery milkman who delivered fresh milk in glass bottles. I am a real sucker for milk in glass bottles, and I've been trying to find if there are any nearby farmers or dairies who bottle their milk that way around here. The ordering scheme was the same way. Your delivery date was set, and you could order anytime up to a cutoff date, pay for your order with a credit card and you order would be delivered to your door on the set date.
If those sorts things were available in TV would you order from them? I have been thinking that with as many people as are here, it would be a natural for some company to provide a service like that.
What say you??

I would definitely take advantage of the grocery delivery if the prices for the food were comparable. Also, I would want it to be from an actual store where I could go" look and see" what's available beforehand to get an idea of what I might want.
The milk thing brings back great memories.... milk in glass bottles, eggs, butter, cream, and other things (a fresh turkey!) from Turner Dairy in Pittsburgh. The milk box on the front stoop--from my childhood in 1950 through my children's childhood, ending in the '80s when we moved to NJ. (
Stoop... is that only a Pittsburgh term? I've never heard it in MI or NJ). And a monthly bill. We don't drink much milk now, so probably we wouldn't use it, but wow. Thanks for the memories.
Turner Dairy is still there by the way.
