Where has this been all my life

Or the last 5 years anyway. We were away this past weekend and my husband who is travelling this week left straight from NY instead of MA so we could stay an extra day. So here I am, home again, with a 5 year old who has no school this week and a 2 year old that I am attempting to potty train. Because of this we are house bound and when we arrived home yesterday I realized there was almost no food in the house. Because I would rather stick bamboo skewers in my ear than take the two of them grocery shopping I decided to try my local supermarkets online delivery service. I went online last night and carefully made my selections. I looked at the prices to see if they were comparable to those in the store and I made sure to order the appropriate quantities of each item (for example if you order "1" in the banana column you will receive a single banana, not one bunch). I completed my order and logged back in this morning to get my 2 hour delivery window. When I saw the truck pull up 20 minutes before the delivery window was scheduled to begin I was as excited as any parent can be when their kids are starting to gnaw at their own arms. The driver was very pleasant, brought everything into my kitchen and aside from one slightly mushy banana everything was perfect. I dare say the produce was actually fresher than what I would have purchased in the store. The only con is that my delivery came in 18 bags. Yes, 18 plastic, landfill filling bags. I will be bringing these with me on my next trip to the grocery store and throwing them in the recycle bin. While this certainly isn't something I would do every week, in a pinch this service is a winner.
