[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm unclear about all the "never, it's so expensive." The prices on Amazon Prime are the same as instore at Whole Foods. Yes, I pay a tip and the delivery fee. I also save at least an hour of my time which, on a weekly basis, adds up to a lot of value. Yes, there are one or two things that infuriate me (the shoppers who ignore the text messaging; the wrong quantity of meat or fish; the grapes that are half rotted, etc.). But...my time.[/quote]

Yes, I was also wondering about the objections to price.  Am I being charged more for these items just because they're being delivered?   Or is it the $3.95 fee plus tip that everyone wants to avoid?

For sure, that $12-$15 has always been well worth it.  As my kids are now older and one out of the nest, I could probably go back to shopping in person after all these years.  I only do it when I'm having a dinner party and don't want to risk some item not being delivered.

I'm the poster you responded to. Indeed, I go prior to Thanksgiving (no one else is picking out my turkey) or a few other big things. But I'm happy to pay 20-30$ to get the hour or two back a week that I'd otherwise lose to shopping and hauling groceries. No thanks.[/quote]
