We had a baker who delivered too; everything else came by delivery from the District Grocery Stores chain.

I like Peapod these days, but you pay more for what you get AND for delivery. As I recall, in the old days the dairy, baker, grocer, didn’t charge for delivery.

In my hometown area around branson, they still sell milk in half gallon jugs (but they are rectangular) with cream on the top.

We have no store in the area that sells milk with cream on the top. For that, you have to drive to the farm and get the farmer to sell it to you on his land. Laws against transporting raw milk to sell/distribute.

Nearest place is 40 miles from us. We can't even get whipping cream that is not ultra pasteurized. Organic Valley has an option that has milk with cream on top, but our Walmart doesn't stock it.

We could get cheese, eggs, orange juice, butter, and several other items from the delivery - can’t remember what though.

We just filled out the order form and hung it on the doorknob at bedtime. It was delivered once a week. When we woke up, the fresh milk was there.

We got a bill once a month. It was a great “payday” stretch way of getting some quality eats, since we got paid once a month, and the last week was usually a little tight.

I’d be glad to pay for delivery, if I could just get fresh organic free range feed milk, eggs, butter etc.
