As Tiny Tim said, "God bless us every one!" [View all]

I am elderly & disabled, and in that ‘high risk’ category to die from this coronavirus. I have been blessed the past couple of months to have groceries delivered to me by Wal-Mart. I shop and pay online; the store ‘collects’ my items; and they are delivered to me by a delivery service (they use Door Dash).

However, when I went to place a delivery order online this morning, there was a notice that they are no longer doing delivery, due high in store demand. Nor are they are doing ‘pick up’, where you order & pay on line; they select your items; and bring them out to your car.

I was able to place a delivery order with Albertson’s, to be delivered mid-week. Not surprisingly, Albertson’s is more expensive than Wal-Mart for their merchandise.

If delivery stops being an option, I may have to pay someone to shop for my items, perhaps twice a month.
