Nov 24

In my case, it started to become necessary before the pandemic. My ability to do the shopping was becoming more difficult, what with my advancing health issues; between the oxygen and the walker, getting the groceries into the house brought new challenges. When the pandemic expanded the delivery options, Walmart was the only store in my area to offer delivery to SNAP households. Much as I don't care for their business model, I have appreciated the delivery option. I miss selecting my own produce, but I can cruise the fruits and veggies at the Safeway where I get my prescriptions. In the main, however, I don't see myself straying from the deliveries from Walmart -- unless some other store provides a reasonable alternative.
