[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for the posters who opt to pay for delivery rather than grocery shop with kids:

Why not send your partner to shop?

Or shop when the kids are at school/in care?

Or teach your kids how to behave while you shop?

I have a handful of kids, fwiw. I get it. [/quote]

It's not about behaving, my three kids four and under definitely behave in the store. But do you know how long it takes to get three young kids out of their car seats, into their coats, into a cart, then all again in reverse? Plus the time it takes to shop? I would rather get that hour back.[/quote]

Are you a single parent?

Why not leave the kids at home while the other parent shops? [/quote]

Because we would both rather be spending time with our kids? 
I'm not saying we don't grocery shop in store, we do 75% of the time. But if spouse is at work (they have a 10 hour day with commute) and I need milk, I'm not hauling all three kids on an hour long trip to the grocery store. This is the benefit of being me in 2024 and not my grandmother in 1954. [/quote]

Sure.

But it also takes 5 mins for your spouse to hop into 7/11 or the grocery store for milk on the way home. Weird to Instacart. [/quote]
