hi -- Rochester is a good-sized city -- please get out the yellow pages and
call around to the closest produce stores & small grocers, you'll be amazed
at how many offer delivery. I am in Toronto, and I wrote a whole book on
places that deliver a few years ago -- there were *hundreds* of stores, even
tho most do not announce it (they don't want to be swamped). But if you
tell them your situation, I know you'd find someone who would fill up a cart
for you & have somebody bring it over. Even if they charge $10, it's
cheaper than hiring that person to shop for you. I pay $10 to
GroceryGateway.com, for any size order. I don't know what I would do
without them! take care -- Michelle

Subject: Re: [TMIC] grocery delivery
LOL! What part of America are you in?
There's nothing free around here.... and freelancers charge my elderly
neighbors $20 hour plus gas
to do their shopping. An entreprenuer brings a small "store" to our
apartment building twice a week where she charges $1 for two apples or 4
bananas, 75 cents for a zuccchini, etc.
There aren't any small grocery stores around, this is downtown Rochester
and those who are ambulatory make their way to a drugstore ( Eckerd's?
Walgreen?) that carries some junkfood.
I'm making a list for the social entrepreneur incubator.... maybe i could
get funding to meet some of
my needs.

Hi everybody --- for those of you who do not have big grocery stores that
deliver in your city, call around to all the fruit stores, small corner
grocery stores and places like that. You'll be surprised at how many will
deliver for $5 or something like that... and many are free.
take care -- Michelle
