How 12 People Got Dinner on the Table Without Leaving Home
One silver lining from this, er, memorable year: Online grocery shopping has graduated from exotic perk to everyday staple. But as anyone who has ever ordered a bunch of fresh bananas, only to belatedly receive a bag of bruised beets will tell you, all online grocery shopping experiences are not created equal. It requires a more personal touch—someone who can shop for you as if they were shopping for themselves.
Enter the personal grocery shopping and delivery service Shipt. The easy ordering process lets members choose from an impressive range of top grocery and household retailers in the same app, from Target to Sur La Table to Petco to your local grocery store. Shipt Shoppers stay in touch via text throughout the process to communicate about last-minute add-ons, suggest alternatives for sold-out items, and share delivery window updates.
We partnered with Shipt to give 500 members of Kitchn Cabinet, our panel of home cooking enthusiasts, an exclusive promo code so they could try it for themselves. Here are just a few of their Instagram posts sharing their Shipt experiences.
