Avoid Coronavirus (COVID-19) but Don't go hangry.. 😫 Use grocery shopping apps if you value 🕛, 💵, and not 🤮

Do you currently use a grocery shopping app, or do you intend to go to the grocery store in-person?

We made an app before covid-19 came out, and it may benefit you to give our app a try, www.recipetotableapp.com

There is a current boom in grocery shopping related apps due to the coronavirus.
Don't believe me, just google a bit and read some news articles.

In fact, many people seem willing to try online grocery shopping for the first time ever due to covid-19.
The trend seems to include those outside of traditional demographics.

It has been mentioned by local news posts that users of mobile grocery shopping apps may be able to reduce their potential exposure to covid-19, and we agree.
Some grocery stores are even considering 'seniority' hours to limit exposure to the older generation if they want to come directly into the grocery store.

Some customers are going online to try grocery shopping apps for their first time, and we commend them. There are a LOT of apps to choose from in the online grocery shopping category.

If you do not currently use a mobile app for grocery shopping, maybe you should.
If you would like to try ours, it's a free download for android and ios (ios currently under review for public release, test flight is available now). Download Links at www.recipetotableapp.com

We currently offer integration with select grocery retailers and will be adding more!

Stay healthy!

That assumes that you have available delivery slots. Currently for all major retailers they are booked at least 2-3 weeks in advance.

We do not directly handle delivery time slots. Instead you would order through our app directly from the grocery store.
I imagine time slots will vary based on geographic location and store.
I can only speak to our location, our favorite major retailer is currently at about a 4 day wait (2-3 weeks seems a bit long are most grocery retailers in this circumstance?).
But there are several work arounds we use in real life:
1 Try multiple stores
The best case for us was to use our grocery list and go to our local small grocery shop and not the bigger grocery stores. We can walk in, right now, and get at the very least some bare essentials.
2 Some hardware stores may have supplies you might be looking for, perhaps tp?
3 It may be unlikely but time slots may open back up? Check frequently for cancellations.
