    Has buying groceries online been normalized to this extent? I still feel dirty about it, but maybe I’m too old fashioned.

      Seriously, once you realize you’re paying a minimum of 30% extra, it becomes hard to stomach.

        Is that assuming Instacart/DoorDash? Click and collect or even delivery from grocery stores isn't nearly that bad, right? I thought it was pretty competitive.

          Walmart, for example, maintains in-store pricing, but charges a $95/year membership fee and you tip the driver.

            Same as Instacart more or less, isn't it? Instacart is $99 and includes a Peacock subscription is the only differences I can see.
