to your door. They have contactless delivery so they can just drop the bags on your porch or in your lobby. You usually have to pay a fee and it's nice to leave a tip.

If you live in an urban area, a lot of grocery stores also have their own delivery services so you don't have to go pick it up yourself. I find it very convenient. I don't mind paying a little more for delivery and tip since I am not spending money on anything else right now and these people are putting themselves out there for our convenience.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
