    Likewise.... I like to choose my own produce and meats and such... And usually the extra, non-list, items are things that should have been on
    the list in the first place... I'm reminded about them by seeing them
    in the course of shopping... ;)

    Wegmans has a hybrid shopping service now... besides the home-delivered (for a fee) service, they also have what they call curbside service... they do that for free, going through the store to pick out the grocery order, and then the customer drives up to the curbside pickup to pick
    up the groceries... dunno if one has to pre-pay by credit/debit card to
    do that though... And I probably still wouldn't take advantage of that service either, but it is an interesting concept... :)

    Hy-Vee has the free shop runner thing if you order at least $30 in
    product .... not hard to do with today's prices. You can pull up to
    the pick up lane and they'll load/help load your order. Or you can go
    inside and get your personally selected meat/seafood/produce/bakery/ last-minute items and go to the checkout where the rest of your order
    will be waiting. Payment is plastic or PayPal.

    They also offer free home delivery within 25 miles for orders >$100. Or
    a $5 charge >$50 - <$99.99 (pretax). Not counting tipping the kid on
    the delivery wagon.

    I've done the curbside deal - and it's very handy. Place the order, give
    a window for pick-up. Hy-Vee emails/texts (both) to let you know when
    you order is assembled. Text "GO" to the store when you're on your way.
    Call (store line) or text "READY" when you pull into the pickup point.
    Voila'. Quicker than finding a parking space and walking to the store -
    let alone trudging around picking up your staple items.
