Use to be some grocery stores would deliver.  In NC in our small town, my mom grew up with the local grocery store doing deliveries. Â
@Fallon: This has made a comeback in the UK in the last 4 or 5 years. Â My MIL has all of her groceries delivered and the guy even brings them right into her kitchen with the refrigerator items in their own bag(s) for quick put away. Â Of course, the towns over there tend to be much more concentrated and there's almost always a Sainsbury, Morrisons, or Asda within walking distance. Â Not sure how well delivery would scale here given the general sprawl of our cities and the way we centralize the shopping areas.Â
