19 Grocery Stores That Deliver For Days When You Don’t Feel Like Food Shopping

Don’t feel like grocery shopping? We’ve got you.

Some days there’s nothing more therapeutic than going to the grocery store and meandering up and down the aisles to find your go-to items, and other days you just can’t be bothered to brave the crowds or long lines, particularly if you don’t need to stock up on much. Luckily, for those days when a grocery run just seems out of the question for one reason or another, there are several grocery stores that deliver, and will bring eggs, produce, and whatever else you need, directly to your home. 

We’ve compiled a list of several large grocery chains that offer delivery, either via their own services or third-party apps such as Shipt and Instacart. Keep in mind that while many of these stores offer delivery nationwide or within several states, it’s always best to double check and make sure that your neighborhood grocery store is able to deliver to your home. There also may be additional delivery fees associated with your order, depending on where you shop and which services you use. Happy shopping!

ALDI

Fans of the popular European chain with hundreds of locations throughout the United States will be pleased to know that ALDI has several options for grocery delivery. Shoppers can order groceries for delivery directly through the ALDI website, and can also place delivery orders via Instacart and DoorDash.

Amazon

Considering Amazon is the godfather of home delivery services, it’s no shock that the company has a myriad of ways to deliver groceries directly to consumers around the country. Shoppers (even those who are not Prime members) can order groceries via Amazon Fresh. For those who do have Amazon Prime, groceries can also be delivered from Amazon-owned Whole Foods Market. Users can also order non-perishable food items via Amazon (or Amazon Prime) from third-party sellers.

Costco

The beloved big-box chain offers same-day delivery to “Costco members in qualifying ZIP codes” via Instacart. Costco members can order perishable groceries online, including organic meats, produce, and seafood, and have the items delivered during a selected delivery window.

Another option, which is available in the continental United States, is to use Costco 2-Day Delivery. With this service, shoppers can order cleaning supplies, organic non-perishables, coffee, bath tissue, laundry detergent, snacks, and more directly to their door.

Dollar General

With more than 19,000 stores in 47 states, Dollar General is one of the largest retailers in the country. The chain has partnered with DoorDash, and offers grocery delivery through the app.

H-E-B

The Texas-based retailer has more than 380 stores throughout Texas and nearby Mexico. The chain offers home delivery via its app and website. Shoppers can also order groceries from H-E-B via Shipt and Instacart.

Hy-Vee

Hy-Vee has more than 280 locations across eight Midwestern states, including Illinois, Kansas, and Wisconsin. The chain charges $9.95 for delivery with a minimum purchase of $24.95, and is also available on DoorDash.

Kroger, which has more than 2,700 outposts across 35 states, has two grocery delivery options powered by Instacart. Shoppers can select standard delivery, which is same-day, or something called now delivery, which brings groceries to your door in as little as 30 minutes.

Sam’s Club

The popular big-box store offers same-day delivery, but that service is only available to Sam's Club members. However, shoppers can still get their Sam’s Club groceries delivered using third party services such as Instacart.

Target

Since Target has nearly 2,000 stores across all 50 states and Washington, D.C, we’re glad to report that the chain offers grocery delivery. Shoppers can have groceries and other items delivered same-day via Shipt, which is owned by the Target Corporation. Customers can also place orders for same-day delivery via DoorDash and Instacart.

Trader Joe’s

Trader Joe’s famously does not have its own in-house delivery service, and the popular chain is also conspicuously absent from Instacart, DoorDash, and similar delivery platforms. However, if you’re desperate for a TJ’s fix, you can find some nonperishable items on Amazon.

Walgreens

Walgreens operates more than 8,700 stores in the United States and Puerto Rico, and sells everything from medications to fresh produce and eggs. The chain offers delivery in as little as one hour, Monday through Sunday from 9 AM to 9 PM, though orders must be placed by 7 PM local time. Prescriptions can be delivered separately via Walgreens Express, and shoppers can also place orders for same-day delivery via DoorDash and Instacart.

Walmart

Walmart is one of the largest retailers in the United States, so the chain naturally has several delivery options available to consumers. Walmart has standard delivery and pick-up options, in which customers can place an order and retrieve it from their local store. The retailer also offers Walmart Express Delivery in select locations, which delivers items to your home in two hours or less, as well as InHome, which is available to Walmart+ members. Using InHome, customers can select how and where they want their groceries to be delivered, and rest assured that their orders are being handled by full-time Walmart associates.

Though Walmart has ended its partnership with DoorDash, it is available via Instacart in most areas, including some parts of New York City.

Wegmans

Wegmans has more than 100 stores in eight states and the District of Columbia. The chain has partnered with Instacart, and offers grocery delivery via the Instacart app, Wegmans app, or Wegmans.com.
