Today we used Publix online ordering for delivery to our home on Wednesday. It was very easy. Publix uses Instacart and we signed up for the month-by-month plan which is $9.99 per month. If you order $35 or more the delivery fee is waived.

The following news article appeared in the News & Observer today. It is a local reporter's experience of signing up for and then using an online grocery delivery service. While this author selected "InstaCart" delivery service, the general concepts apply to the majority of these delivery services.
As I do not have a background in using the InstaCart service, I found it an interesting and informative read. As this virus pandemic continues to overshadow everything we can do these days, it is always to good to have a little knowledge about these services should they be needed.
One of the ideas discussed in the article was that you could have the items delivered to a different address than your own - thus, you could help a neighbor or relative who is not able to do this automated service themselves.

Texas Roadhouse - Wake Forest Butcher Packs
Donna recently saw a posting within Facebook that our local restaurant here in Wake Forest, the Texas Roadhouse, was selling directly to the public multiple cuts of meat for pickup. This offer is being made ONLY by this local Texas Roadhouse restaurant. Apparently, for Mother's Day weekend, they sold a slightly different predefined package of items for sale.
This week, they are offering a predefined package of meats for sale called "butcher packs". This package consists of multiple types of precut steaks, chicken, pork chops, and ground beef. Two size packages are offered - small and large ($70 and $180). You can order multiples of each package if you like.
You must preorder what you want during this week - in advance of pickup. During placement of the order, you define what day this weekend you wish to pick up your order (starting Friday through Monday within a time range on that day). I don't believe you can just show up and order something but I am not sure.
Click the following website address to review what the Wake Forest Texas Roadhouse is offering and to place your order. The photo below the address is a screen capture of the current Memorial Weekend offer. It is unknown if there will be future offerings as the NC virus shutdown regarding restaurants may or may not continue.
