Like many others, I’ve started purchasing more of my groceries online. Who doesn’t love the convenience! But if I do get anything online, it’s almost always a packaged item.
I still go to the grocery store for “fresh” foods, like bakery goods, deli, meat, produce and seafood. Interesting stat from the Nielsen Company: online grocery shoppers spend 1.5% more in-store on fresh food than the average consumer does.
According to Nielsen, deli and produce departments provide the highest sales of “fresh food” items in stores. In fact, three-fourths of deli sales come from items packaged by deli clerks, giving customers a more authentic, ready-made feel.
Meanwhile, online sales of health and beauty care items and dairy products are rising.

As you can see, sales of fresh food continues to increase in stores.

Thank you for your posting, Taylor. I just joined NCP tonight.
Anyway, I am slowly buying heavy things online- protein shakes, iced teas, etc. I’m just not interested in carrying heavy things from my UBER to my apartment…using a cane, walking in the rain and dragging a huge, purple duffel bag on wheels with my days “catch”.
I’m leaving it to the certified strong back professionals.
I’ll never give up going to market- it’s a festival.
Peace,
I get my fresh food from grocery stores or local farmers Markets.
I get mine from the store still. Haven’t tried the mail thing yet.
I prefer shopping in a standing store, looking at the fresh produce makes me happy, I am sure if everything is bought on line soon there will be no standing stores to visit putting many people out of work.
I shop at the store, I like to see, feel, smell what I am buying. Like fruits and vegetables, meat. Deli products. Maybe I would order online, can goods, box items. I would love to try one off the meal kits they advertise on TV.
I still buy from the grocery store. I do not think online fruit and veggie buying is right for me.
I get my produce at a produce store, that is all they have and its fresh.
I get my fresh produce either from my neighbor or grocery store. I do not plan to get fresh produce on line because I want to see what I am getting.
I don’t order on line because I don’t get out that much so when I go grocery shopping I like to in act with People
During the winter I go to the grocery store for my fresh items and only certain stores. During the summer I get a produce stores and try to buy area produce or I’ll buy farm fresh in the grocery store.
