Totally agree. Cooking/cleaning is the hard part, not shopping. Especially with grocery delivery available within <2 hours. Also, and I'm not overly "green" but, the amount of waste generated with a weekly shipment just felt excessive.

Some people really, really, really hate shopping.

For me I'd say it more that I hate doing all 3 things. Shopping, cooking, and cleaning. Shopping is probably the worst because it involves the most decisions. So if I can cut that out of what I need to do, it makes cooking and cleaning that much easier.

I mostly use instacart, but my parents have gotten me food delivery services as gifts and it is pretty nice. The thing I find frustrating about it however are the portions.

I'm probably outside of the norm, but I don't mind eating the same thing all the time. I would love to cook a bunch all at once and eat it all week. With the portions offered, I can usually eat 2 of the meals as a single meal.
