Ops, I forgot shaving cream. Do I A) wait a week, B) spend 45 minutes going to the store, or C) pay someone 15$ and have in tomorrow when I need it.

Option C is not always going to be the winner, but doing something even twice a year * 100,000 people is a real market.

I mean plenty of people spend 20+$ extra on a meal when they could make food at home in less time.

PS: 15 minute drive, 4 minutes parking, 2 minutes shopping, 5 minutes checkout line, 15 minute trip home, 4 minutes parking = 45 minutes.

Why didn't you remember in the first place? That's the root of the problem. Is it that hard to really make a list of things you need?

In the last year have you really never forgotten something when shopping, when making this list, or in the shaving example run out in the middle of the week?

Granted, I don't use this type of home delivery. But, I often pay a crazy markup to use the tiny convenience store in my apartment building.

What if you don't remember to make a list of things to remember?
