Something is wrong with their system. They asked why I was cancelling and I told them. Maybe they will get better. Also prices were way high. I know they are everywhere, but I can definitely do better than that.
That is too bad. I would cancel also if I had such trouble.
Such a different shopping experience here. Two weeks ago today I received a Misfits delivery. It would normally be FreshDirect in rotation every two weeks. But early in that weed I did a direct cost/cross comparison with FreshDirect. 35 vegetable items, many bags and same farm/brands like CalOrganic. A dozen pantry items and a dozen items in a cold pack. Across the board 75cents to three dollars cheaper than FreshDirect or WholeFoods. 75+dollars cheaper overall. I do like FD being a full grocery with paper needs and toothpaste, etc. FD also has a local farm share box on sale at the moment so I like supporting that. I do care about organic since I juice and make green smoothie shots. Double celery, tripple carrots, triple lacinate kale, big bag of golden beets and ginger. Still cheaper by 25-50 cents over the non-organic. But we are 75-80% plant based diet. Raw, steamed, roasted. 2-3 meals a week are meatless but no way in hell vegan or vegetarian. We have no close friends vegan, just some family members.
I stumbled across a tick-toc (thank goodness they are short)...a TJ's shopper doing his weekly shopping. I thought it was a 'what's new' dealio. Nope, just wheeling through the downtown location in the converted underground parking garage. He spent 140$ and walked out comfortably with two brown paper grocery bags. (on foot NYC shopping needs to be a simple 'carry'). I spent 158$ Misfits including shipping--same 7.99 for two boxes I could not lift being so heavy. I had to transfer into 4 of the big blue Ikea bags.
DH tripped and face planted two weeks ago in the last snow storm and just gradually getting better every day--lower back pain. I have been doing all the household needs and care-giver. All the heavy lifting---garbage, recycling, cooking, laundry, etc. I would pay much more for the conveniences of delivery but it is just not so. A nightmare to add to my list a Saturday or Sunday 3-4 shopping stops to get what I can get from delivery.
Amazing variation in my crisper drawer and pantry without the time suck from shopping in person.
