The trade off for me with groceries hasn't been discovered not even amazon carries what I use.
That could be something too? Make certain brands and items a permanently running inventory for yourself and your family? Take out the guesswork? Make a list. Stick it to your fridge. Maybe seek out a family member or someone who has a self employed errand running type of business. ?
This honestly seems like a good side business venture. If you have a car or truck, and live somewhere with not so great public transportation, than delivering groceries to people for a flat fee might be worth looking into. You could also provide services that Amazon or Walmart wouldn't, such as delivery on produce, meat, and dairy and same day delivery.

Oh and speaking of which, I looked into Walmart's grocery delivery options today and while their prices on some of their stuff is a bit more expensive than in store and you can't obviously get fresh produce, meat, and dairy products, their selections and prices seem to be a bit more reasonable than Amazon's offerings.

Just my 2c.
Thanks for this!
