Staying at home is crucial, now more than ever, to keep yourself and others safe from the coronavirus pandemic.
It's important to limit how often you're going to the grocery store. In the next two weeks, the pandemic is expected to get worse all across the country. So having groceries and other goods delivered can literally help save your life!
There are a few grocery store delivery services that are here to help. Keep in mind deliveries are experiencing a high demand but orders are still being fulfilled on delayed schedules.
Here's a breakdown of some grocery delivery services and what they have to offer!
FreshDirect has a wide selection of fresh produce, meats, packaged foods and cleaning supplies! Due to high demand, product selection is limited to the items families need most right now. They're also looking to hire more employees! FreshDirect's delivery is contact free, too!
Postmates is mainly known for takeout, but did you know you can also have groceries and alcohol delivered, too? Select locations have a "Fresh" tab that shows all of the grocery delivery options near you. Postmates also offers a no-contact delivery on all orders.
Thrive Market delivers organic products to your door! You have to have a membership for grocery orders, but they deliver at a lower cost than some other vendors and charge $69 for an annual membership fee.
