I assume you're in America. Do you get home deliveries from
supermarkets over there, if so is it expensive? In the UK, as
Stephen said, it's only a few pounds.

Many supermarkets have home delivery services. Not sure just what they
cost, but it's enough to get me to drive to the supermarket instead (a
drive of just a few minutes for a choice of markets). One of them also
has a service where you pick out what you want online, the staff goes
around the store and fills bags for you, then you drive up and stop in
a special lane and they bring it out for you, load it in your car, and
take your credit card right there at the curb. Cuts down your time at
the store. There's a fee for that too.

My Auntie lives in a very posh area of LA. For shopping she goes to
some store or other and picks what she wants. She stays for a free
coffee while all is delivered to her home. The cost is some percentage
of the order value. It is almost a competition to get home before the
delivery arrives.
