10 Reasons Why I Love My FreshDirect

FreshDirect is one of the local grocery delivery services here in New York. I've always enjoyed grocery shopping, but I turned to FreshDirect in desperation after I had my baby. I was waaay too busy to get out of the house for two hours at a time, and I couldn't figure out how to shop with a newborn. Now that my life is back to normal, I'm still addicted to online grocery shopping. Here's why:
  1. The delivery guys are really, really nice.
  2. I can shop from all my old lists, so I can get those yummy pickles again without having to remember where I found them or what they're called.
  3. I can set up a regular list that I always use. (milk, eggs, mini frozen quiches)
  4. They recently added quality rankings, so I can see which vegetables look good this week. (The biggest downside to grocery shopping online.)
  5. They refund your money for any issue you have, and they write polite, little notes apologizing for those issues. Where did they find these people?
  6. They're online! I can shop from work when I'm on conference calls -- er, my lunch break.
  7. I never buy crap I don't need just because it's in a neat display.
  8. I don't have to lug groceries (and a baby, and a stroller) up to my 4th floor walk-up apartment.
  9. I don't have to wait on line. Ever.
  10. Did I mention how nice the delivery guys are? Seriously, it makes my day.
