  I don’t use it. I prefer to make my own choices with regard to things like produce and meat.
  
  On the other hand, if one does a lot of impulse buying while grocery shopping, it could save a fair bit of money.

  I still go to the store. I’m sure it’s a nice service. It might save time too.
  
  Going to the grocery store is one of the few shopping trips that I don’t mind. I can walk to the store - and it’s nice to take a walk without my dog (for a change).

  No. I like to shop for my own food and pick it out myself. I already spend too much time at home.

  My Kroger has dedicated 6 parking spots for this which actually take up at least 8 spaces up front. they are usually empty. I believe that you can use the service 5 times before they start charging you for it.
  
  I won't use it even though I have a handicapped placard due to my COPD. I am not letting some one pick out my fresh produce and meats and what if they don't have what I want and I have to make a last minute second choice.
  
  The shoppers that I see using it are mostly young mothers. I need all of the walking exercise that I can get.

  Juice would prefer you to pick up your groceries so he doesn’t have to bag them when you physically come in. He prefers to sit there and say dream about the babe working register 3.

  I've used it when my schedule is slammed. Very convenient.

  I won't let anyone else pick out the meat and my wife would never let anyone else select the produce. For these reasons, i don't see us using this service anytime soon.

  I do, but I still go in and buy my produce because they usually fuck that up in my experience
  
  Milk/Dairy....produce.....and maybe most importantly seafood. If it has an expiration date on it I want to be the one that picks it out.
  
  I saw the same report this morning on the CBS Morning Show about Walmart. I suspect we are going to see them and Amazon going toe to toe over the next three to five years for market share on just about everything.

  ^^^ good point Warren - maybe they should get into the strip club business. Guaranteed drama free blowjobs for every lapdance session purchased!!!!

  For vegetables and fruit, I tend to get what looks good. Then if I need to pivot and do substitutions I need to figure if I’m going to stop at the little independent Italian grocery store, too, or if I make a substitution, how will that affect meal planning for the week/month not sure if I can articulate that to a personal shopper or if I want to. Ditto with meats. Although I do shop from a LIST.
  
  Plus I get a kick out of grocery shopping with a strip club tee shirt under my jacket. I’d miss out on the wry smiles I get from from of the MILFs.

  While I haven't used such services, I do Amazon Fresh quite a bit. I still go to the grocery store at least half the time, but often I find it incredibly convenient to just order on Amazon fresh. Like many of you, I tend to leave produce and meat to in-person trips, but I've even been backing off on that, having gotten some great steaks on Amazon Fresh (produce is so-so and best left to in-person). They deliver the next day. So, if I'm running out of all kinds of staples, and too busy or tired to hit the grocery store, Amazon will have everything I need on my porch the next morning.... not bad.
  
  I'd rather support the stores directly than Amazon, so as these services spin up, I'll probably try them out.
