Did you think Walmart pickup was a game changer? Kroger is taking it one step further with next day home delivery for all of your grocery needs! They cover all of Blount County with a delivery fee of only $6.95. I’m sure you have seen gas prices lately and depending where you live, it may actually be cheaper to have your groceries delivered than driving to a store.

Is it any good?
Some may be leary of grocery delivery so fear not, we have already tested it out! We took our normal pickup order from Walmart and added everything in the Kroger app. To our surprise everything was available and they had a good meat and fish selection as well which Walmart does not tend to have. Comparing the prices, some items were slightly lower and some slightly higher. It really averaged out to be right at the same price. We put the order together on a Saturday and schedule delivery for Monday between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. Around 2:30 pm Monday, they called and let us know the driver was running a little bit behind and would be about 30 minutes late, this was fine with us so we told them to bring it on. They showed up exactly when they said and started unloading the groceries and checking everything off as they pulled it from the refrigerated truck. The delivery driver was extremely nice and even gave us some extra coupons!
How is the quality?
The quality supersedes all of the local stores. All of the fruits and veggies were very fresh and even the bagged lettuce was not wilted which is almost impossible to find around Blount County. All of the meats looked great as well.
