I doubt I'd use this service if I still had to go to the store to buy
milk and juice.  That is unless the grocery bill was significantly
cheaper after postage.

I would, however, pay up to 10% more to have perishable and non-
perishable groceries delivered to my door by the local store.
The only problem with that is that the produce and meat selector
would have to do a good job.  The second I received dark chicken
or a bruised apple would be the last time I used the service.
