I’ve been getting my groceries via Kroger Curbside for over a year.   Until the pandemic I could order one day and pick up the next.   Nowadays you have to schedule a few days to a week in advance, so I’ve been counting on my sons to wear masks/gloves and do the grocery shopping lately…especially for items we don’t want to wait on. … Read More »
