How can you not have time to buy groceries? It’s not that big of a process.
I understand not having a car though. Some places are not very walkable.

windowsphoneguy@feddit.org 19 hours agoWhy? I know several young families that just don’t have the time or a car to get groceries for the whole week, delivery services help them a lot

It’s not so much that you literally have no time but spending the extra money is a way to get the time you would otherwise spend on groceries to do other things like spend actual time with the kids before they sleep and walk the dog before it’s dark.

That’s an hour or 2 you may not have.

If you don’t have an hour to buy food, there’s something supremely fucked up about your priorities.

It usually has nothing to do with priorities, and everything to do with the crushing weight of capitalism giving you no time for leisure or recreation otherwise. Have kids and two jobs? Good luck spending much time with them.
I don’t personally use grocery delivery services but I can see their appeal and use.

Work two jobs? Fuck you. Want rest? Fuck you. Want healthy food? Fuck you. Taking care of someone? Fuck you. Need sleep? Fuck you.

Depending on the situation/ location, it is truly possible. During massively busy times, I have employed these services. It absolutely can be a big process, especially with younger children and 2 jobs.

Also elderly people. Me or other family buy groceries for an aunt, she has Amazon for emergencies.
