Here in CT there is a large chain called Stop & Shop. I don't know how
widespread they are, but they have a delivery service called PeaPod. It
was a long time before they started delivering to my neighborhood.
(guess they go to the rich folks first :)
It has been a lifesaver to my Mom and me. You place the ordet on your
computer, minimum order being $50. The delivery charge for an order
between $50 and $100 is $9.95. If you place an order of $100 or greater,
the delivery charge is $6.95. Considering the cheapest gas prices are
around $3.20/gallon near me, it would cost me about the same to drive
to and from the store, which hasn't been an option lately anyway.
There is a break on the delivery charge, ($1.00 off) if you set up
direct check payment with them.
I hope this helps.

With the price of gas these days, a small delivery charge is not out
of line at all. By the time you add in for time to pick out
the groceries, delivery, let alone somebody bringing them to your
door, it would certainly be worth making up a decent list and trying
it out. Just call around if you need this people, and best of luck to
you finding somebody to go shopping for you.
