With me recuperating from knee surgery it was going to be more convenient for me to order groceries online and just have Dan drive by and pick them up. I had been wanting to try Harris Teeter's Express Lane at Cameron Village so this was a perfect opportunity.
It was not possible for me to go to the grocery and fill up a grocery cart, and I thought ordering online would be easier than sending Dan with a list.
So I sat down at the computer and went to the Harris Teeter online ordering site and filled out my grocery order. That was on Friday night and I scheduled a pickup between 11:00 and 11:30 on Saturday. As it turned out, Laura and Anthony arrived for a visit just in time for Anthony to take Dan down to Harris Teeter's where they drove in the Express Lane, pushed a button, gave them the name on the order and presto the groceries were delivered out to the car.
The order was exactly has I had indicated. Just as if I had done the shopping in the store myself. Since this was our first order online the $4.95 fee was waived. But I won't hesitate again to use this service. I would probably save $4.95 by not putting something in the basket that I really didn't need when I shop in person. Of course sometimes I see something that isn't on the list that we really need, but if I'm careful with my list for ordering this should work out fine. I will probably try this again while I am more or less home bound.
