Kroger delivery

My kids were laughing at me as I am not real thrilled with Hubby getting anything of produce as it is.

Delivery charge was $9.95 ... if I hadn't been looking for it I wouldn't have noticed it. The tip was set at 10%, you can change the tip... if you don't change it that is what it's going to be... If you set it to NO tip....then I had to have a good reason... you have set time to change the tip... but you still have to give a good reason. I gave 20%. That is what I tip servers at a restuarant except buffets. A good server at the buffet gets 10-15 %. IF you have never worked as a server or had family/friend worked as one you don't understand their pay check does NOT pay their bills, it pays the taxes and SS and maybe the cost of an apron or uniform if that's required. TIPS is what SUPPORTS them. These instant cart workers(which is who is doing most of the grocery deliveries around here) are minimum wage.







I forgot to take a picture of the dairy. I got 1 gal of milk, 1/2 gal of buttermilk, 1/2 gal of half and half and 1 qrt of heavy cream. I got 2 cottage cheese, 2 sour cream , 2 sour cream squeeze bottles, 3 Dean dip and large package of American cheese. I still have some heavy cream and yogurt. AND tons of other cheese.
I have onions so don't need any of those. We also still have a few apples.

I do have a few fresh potatoes left but I know potato salad is going to be on the menu. We have 3 cans of sweet potatoes left but Hubby really doesn't like canned sweet potatoes, he likes his sweet potato baked. Since I will be starting to use the grill, nuked baked sweet potatoes and potatoes go on the menu a lot.I still have a half of head of lettuce.

I got nonfood ..
not my container of sugar that sits as my coffee pot.

I got Home chef... We like Home Chef, Son 2 used it about a year, I have a lot of the recipes from him. But I am just at the point I don't want to do anything especially cook. I have digital coupon and it was on sale. Was limited, young lady had to text me as what I chose wasn't available, there was a beef roast kit that was to serve 2 but she really thought the roast was too small LOL. I got the pork chop one as we have had it before so I know we like it. I also got buy one get one of the pastas. I ate mine for lunch.




IF this stay at home continues longer than a month. I will do it again.

MEANTIME today I am going out to finish putting potting soil in the 5 sq ft gardens. When Hubby gets in from his hauling job we will be potting trees... even if it's raining.

  1. I wondered if the home chef meals were good, so thanks for review. I've been doing Kroger pickup, but haven't tried delivery. Glad it worked well for you.

    1. Son 2 used them a couple years ago. There wasn't anything he didn't like, except he is a BIG eater and their 2 servings wasn't enough for him to cover his dinner and lunch (he ordered for 2). He changed his order to 4 servings and was 3 times a week and was able to divide it up to make his lunches and dinners for 5 days

  2. We did one of those meals by twice, when of course I had a coupon, and we really enjoyed them. It’s cheaper than restaurant meals and very good.

    Good for you for doing grocery delivery and for tipping, I’m guessing you made the shopper’s day with the big tip.

    1. Most likely as I know most people aren't good tippers for one reason or another.

  3. You know, I usually love to cook, too. But, when I'm in the midst of gardening, I really want to keep gardening, not cook right then! I'm glad you could get some easy options, and I'm glad your store had so many things in stock.

    1. US... to the tee, we don't want to stop and cook, don't even want to stop and drive to town 8 miles round trip to get something. No one delivers this far out. We usually end up with wraps or eggs

  4. Husband and I are good tippers. We pretty much never go below 20% and during this pandemic we've been tipping any service people way more.

  5. Tommy is not a good tipper. I am. So, I add something to his tip. I went out to water four containers and hurt so when I came in that we picked something up to eat.
