I usually use Harris Teeter express. It is done directly through their own website (not instacart or anything else). However, despite my having an annual subscription (meaning I already paid for a year of pick ups), I've not been able to reserve a pickup time for a month. They're swamped! *sigh*. I miss when groceries were easy.

I have just been doing orders online through the store website, haven't tried any apps. I did Costco delivery last week and it was great, my parents have been doing Kroger and Sprouts for pickup with good luck. Our orders were placed about 5-7 days in advance.
Something we found that works for getting a time slot - put a cart together and either sign in after midnight or super early in the morning to place/schedule the order. With stores being booked out several days with delivery and pickup, they tend to release the next available day or two in their schedule at these times and you can grab a slot before they get booked up. |

It will depend on what's available in your location. You could go to the websites of your local stores and see if they have any online ordering options. I had never ordered groceries online before either. I still prefer to do it in person, but there is no way I'm going inside any stores right now.

The stores near me (in Michigan) have about a week delay in pick ups and are averaging about half my order. Two weeks out for deliveries near me.
I had better luck just gearing up (gloves, mask, lots of wipes) at my local grocery store (which doesn't have pick up/delivery) and they were enforcing 6 feet between everyone and cleaning carts and the belt between everyone checking out. I then unpacked everything on my porch and wiped everything down. I left all non refrigerator items in my garage for 3 days. I washed all my clothes and jacket and took a hot shower when I was done. All told, it took me six hours to get a week's worth of groceries! |

I just tried to sign up at PetSmart for a store pick-up. (We need cat litter.) I chose Paypal as payment. Every time I clicked on Confirm Payment, it kept taking me back to my cart to start over.
I'm usually a whiz at shopping online, but I gave up after the fifth time and emptied my cart. Sigh.
