How to Get Groceries Delivered to Your Home

If you suffer from a disability or simply cannot find the time to get to the grocery store, you can usually have groceries delivered to your home. You might need assistance regularly if your situation is permanent, or occasionally to get through a tough time. Follow these instructions to get conveniently groceries delivered to your home.

Things You'll Need

  • Internet access

Instructions

  1. Call or visit your local grocery store(s) and ask if they have delivery services. These types of services can vary greatly. Smaller grocery stores might offer to deliver groceries after you call in an order, while larger chain grocery stores might offer an online grocery shopping experience.

  2. Consider shopping for groceries on retail websites such as Amazon (www.amazon.com). Be aware that you must typically purchase bulk and/or larger packages of products than you might usually purchase at your neighborhood grocery store.

  3. Contact local groups that perform services for the disabled and elderly, if you qualify. Such groups can help you grocery shop and perform other daily tasks if you meet their qualifications.

  4. Look for fliers and local online ads for "helpers" and "personal assistants" to help you grocery shop and complete other daily activities. Most helpers change a fee per activity. Craigslist.org is a great place to look for ads, or even place an ad seeking a helper.
