Or.. you can use the myriad of grocery delivery services available to get a delivery within hours. Not everything needs to be bought on Amazon.

You make it sounds like they're commonplace.

Most major metropolitan areas have grocery delivery services either via the grocery stores themselves or a TaskRabbit like service (Instacart, etc.)

Not this one. TaskRabbit doesn't serve Atlanta, Instacart is limited to a small number of cities and doesn't exist this far out from Atlanta's core, and none of the 7 grocery store chains within 30 miles delivers.
