So going grocery shopping is fun for you? It's food you're shopping for, not $100k convertibles.

Yeah, I don't really "get" that. It's a PITA chore, waste of time now since you can clicklist everything in bed or wherever and then hit your trunk release button later that day and you're gone in 5-10 minutes.

I said that I get it for people who have to have their produce and meat, that was something I didn't really think of. However my Kroger does my deli order to a special spec every time.

I have had lots of good experiences with this. However, I also understand people not using it because they've had lots of issues.

I haven't gone in a grocery store in 6-7 months, glorious.

I don't know how it's hard to get either, and his response didn't help.

Yep. I enjoy it and always have. I darn sure don't want anyone else picking out my groceries. No thanks!

I've used Kroger Clicklist since day one, long before COVID.


Since I hate shopping, crowds, people blocking the isles while having conversations and the long checkout lines, I'll never go back.

News flash: People are different, and like different things.

They teach that in preschool these days.

I get that, gee thanks.

I created this thread for perspective and for the most part my question was answered.

I like hearing perspective but me? I’ll click list it and spend more time on the boat. That’s more fun to me than shopping at Kroger.

I won't let anyone pick my food, no way, I won't let anyone pick my clothes, okay? And I won't even let someone pick my nose! No way I say!!

Getting groceries with no people in my face is much better, and I’m not an introvert.

Who wants to drive to the store and sit around in their car when they bring it to your door?


Oh I'm sure you have your list of reasons to use curbside over home delivery based on your experiences and preferences. So why is it so hard for you to accept that others draw the line somewhere else and have their reasons for shopping in the manner that they prefer?


Btw, I sometimes shop in the store, use curbside pickup, or have groceries delivered. There are pros and cons of each.

If shopping for groceries takes so much of your time that it takes you from your hobbies, you clearly have a different shopping method that I do LOL.

We just got rid of the boat. We just didn't have time and it was too much work to maintain.

Different strokes.

I am almost to the point that I am ready to go back and shop for my groceries even though I am getting everything delivered for free by friends. I have found that if I do my grocery shopping between 10-11 pm on Sundays at the local Kroger store, I generally come within 6 feet of approximately five people so the risk is very minimal.
