Food Shopping-Kroger Boost.

I don't mind grocery shopping, although for the past two years I have mostly done curbside. I just pop on my mask and go inside, but I always pick off-peak times when the store isn't busy to minimize wait times and limit airborne germ exposure.

I love flea markets, I haven't been to one of those in ages...I also haven't been clothes shopping in several years. I need a new swim suit so I guess I will need to go at some point.

I love clothes and shoe shopping. But I buy my sauconeys for cheap off ebay.

I wish we had Kroger here. The closest one is 45 minutes away, so nope, not going to deliver here LOL. I think it sounds like a good program, though!

I really like it. I remember when I would hit 8 krogers in a row, mystery shop them and have groceries and pet food for a week or two! Now I need delivery!

You’re in Kentucky. You’re not allowed to know about our Ohio Golden Buckeye card. You’ll just have to look north across the river and forever wonder…”Is it really golden?…a golden buckeye?…I’ll never know…”

It’s sort of the same way I look south across the river and forever wonder…”Why is our airport in Kentucky?…I’ll never know…” :wink:

I moved to southern IN. I haven't figured out yet how to update my profile. So I'll still look North and wonder about your golden buckeye, but kind of northeast.
BTW, exactly what is a buckeye?
 
I´m like TastyReuben. I just love going to a supermarket or grocery store. I can´t envisage getting my order "online" or having it delivered. how on earth would I know the vegetables are the best ones, or the freshest ones, or the right size for what I want? Then there´s the thing about missing a bargain or finding an item that is unusual or exciting - how would you do that online? No way :D :D :D
My bro is disabled, and buys all his stuff online, however. He also pays a yearly fee and then gets special discounts from time to time.

It's an inedible nut, much like some of the people who live in Ohio.

Buckeyes are nuts from the buckeye tree, which is the state tree, and also is the name of a candy which resembles buckeyes (chocolate-dipped peanut butter balls, sort of like a round Reese’s peanut butter cup):

I can help with that.
 
Another vote for browsing the shelves as I prefer to go food shopping rather than have it delivered, but over the last few years there seems to be more pickers than shoppers wandering round my local Morrisons.

Not quite true - there are many bargains on-line and unusual ingredients too. Ocado is a solely on-line supermarket and I've discovered or been able to obtain lots of hard to find or unusual ingredients from them. In fact, if I'm looking for a 'hard to find' ingredient I go on-line. Not necessarily to an on-line supermarket but to specialist independent suppliers.

Yeah, fair enough, but a bargain to me might be a chunk of Shropshire Blue reduced from £4.50 to £2.50, or a 4-pack of beer reduced from £5.50 to £3.25, because the packaging got damaged.
An unusual ingredient is not something I´d normally be looking for in a supermarket; it´d be something I´d buy on impulse. The other day I bought some Bulgarian sheep´s milk cheese - just to try it, and some really amazing wild mushrooms - because they looked really wierd, which is not the same as a "hard to find" ingredient.
Don´t let me loose in an unknown supermarket... :laugh: :laugh:

There are such bargains on-line too. Maybe not so many though. Because I have a delivery pass I get reductions on items I buy frequently. I do like to browse in a physical shop - but I simply hate the sheer waste of time in supermarkets; the fact that you do all the work: loading stuff into the trolley, unloading it, loading it back in to bags, loading it into your car and then driving it back home and unloading it again!

Also, I really can't get excited about buying toilet rolls or other mundane stuff in a supermarket. Let them do the mundane work...
