It’s not so much that you literally have no time but spending the extra money is a way to get the time you would otherwise spend on groceries to do other things like spend actual time with the kids before they sleep and walk the dog before it’s dark.
It usually has nothing to do with priorities, and everything to do with the crushing weight of capitalism giving you no time for leisure or recreation otherwise. Have kids and two jobs? Good luck spending much time with them.
I don’t personally use grocery delivery services but I can see their appeal and use.
I do have kids and two jobs. I’m not sure what your point is. Half the time I use grocery store runs as way to talk to my kids in an environment where they’re not distracted by technology.
Your experience isn’t the same as everyone else’s, that’s my point. Just because you like to use a chunk of your free time to shop doesn’t mean everyone else does. Many in your situation would prefer to use that time at home with their kids (where you can also avoid technology after ordering if you desire, btw)
Right, what I’m pushing back against are the people in this thread who are implying it’s impossible to find time to both buy food and sleep, not people like you who are saying “I’d rather trade my money to buy additional time for leisure”, which is perfectly reasonable.
My days pretty much consist entirely of work, chores, gym, spending time with my kid, and sleeping. If not for the flexibility I get from work, I don’t think I’d ever be able to do groceries.
Why? I know several young families that just don’t have the time or a car to get groceries for the whole week, delivery services help them a lot
Also elderly people. Me or other family buy groceries for an aunt, she has Amazon for emergencies.
Unapologetically filtering young families and old people out of my life…
How can you not have time to buy groceries? It’s not that big of a process.
I understand not having a car though. Some places are not very walkable.

That’s an hour or 2 you may not have.
If you don’t have an hour to buy food a couple times a week, there’s something supremely fucked up about your priorities.

Work two jobs? Fuck you. Want rest? Fuck you. Want healthy food? Fuck you. Taking care of someone? Fuck you. Need sleep? Fuck you.
