With Instacart you pay full price. People on budgets generally shop for themselves and look for bargains.

This is an elderly couple with medical conditions/constraints. There was snow and ice in their driveway and on the roads/parking lots. They were attempting to reduce their risks.

Isn’t that a bit like, “Let them eat cake”?

Many elderly people have issues that don’t permit them to shop for themselves. You’re able to, but not everyone is.

The article said it was so snowy that the woman feared for the driver in their driveway. Old people with fragile bones sometimes would choose to save on gas money and pay the difference to get a delivery rather than break a hip, which is often fatal for oldsters.

Secondly, the article mentioned that one of them had recently had a difficult diagnosis. So, for all you know, the man was bedridden, they were snowed in, and the woman was staying home to care for him. That may be why they tried to lighten their load during a snow-in to have groceries delivered.

Remember this post when you are old.

Well aren't you a deep thinker cupcake.

Yesterday I took a fall and tore my knee apart.

I keep a full cupboard so it is not an issue but going to the store is right out for next couple of weeks.

Limited mobility is an issue for older people.

You will be old too some day.
