Do you buy your groceries including fresh produce online? If yes, do you prefer it over doing groceries in-store?

Grocery-wise, I only buy Polar Seltzer from Quill.com and syrups from SkinnyMixes.com online. 

I know of many people online who talk about buying their groceries online.  Most talk about Amazon and instacart.

If online shopping is too expensive, maybe have friends and family share a membership under one name.

However, face-to-face people never mention.  One exception, when I worked at a cafe, my boss ordered the coffee off of Amazon.

Yes I do. Buy pizza or sushi from time to time. Of course it is not a cheap food comparing to normal home food but it is tasty. Also by beers fro time to time.

I do that as well, especially when I'm too busy to cook or when there are celebrations like birthdays. I've never ordered beer or any alcoholic beverage online, though.

I used to often order fast food items and also other food during the lockdown , there was always a shortage of groceries

No never, I prefer to go to the grocery shop and buy there because I like to check expiry dates , also it is better to check what I want, not to receive something different than I order or expired.

That's a good point. I've mostly ordered groceries online due to the pandemic, but now it seems that things are getting back to normal.

Yea , there can be cases where we may get expired perisharable goods , sure you may get an exchange or a refund but its so hecktic honestly

maybe you can get refund or exchange but why to get in all this from the beginning, it is better to go and buy better than bothering yourself with a product with an expiry date or things you don't want, also most of the shops do this because they think that people don't look for expiry date and i can say that some people ignore this point when buying products.

No, l still prefer the in-store grocery because you can see by yourself and pick which you like to buy. Seeing the products personally, you have an option which you like if the vegetables or fruits are still good and not over riped. If you let others do it for you online you will not know if they pick all the best items you ordered like if there are very slight deformities on the item if the fruit is fresh and smooth something like that. For shopping, in-store is still the best option.

I agree with you 100% , to buy the good groceries you should go and buy yourself and check all what you buy, you don't know what is packed for you specially vegetables.

I did it a lot during covid lockdown . However , I will not prefer it over physically buying it because there are some perisharable goods that you need to just check for yourself to be assured that what you are buying is a good product

Doing grocery shopping should be done by womens in the family. They only knows what is good and bad in terms of vegetables and fruits. It deponds on the people who do it.

My dad was the one who did groceries for us for years, and he was the one who cooks, too. :) I don't think it depends on your gender.

I am somehow lazy to go to the supermarket, worse off vegetable market. So yes, I do online grocery shopping and prefer it to in store shopping. I also find it conveniently cheap to do so.

Currently, buying food online is not popular in my city yet. I am not sure if it is happening to other places in my country. If it happens, then it will be possible here, too.

I often buy my groceries online as I don't yet have my driver's license and it's hard for me to get home from the grocery store when I have a large purchase. It is very easy and fast to do my grocery shopping online and I really like it. It saves me from having to walk around the store as well, which is very good for me as I have a back injury and chronic illnesses that make walking difficult and painful.

Yes, I do buy some of my groceries online. I prefer to buy certain items, such as fresh produce, in-store, as I can ensure that I am getting the highest quality items. However, for convenience and to save time, I do purchase some items online.
