“Do you have normal grocery stores in the city?” or “Do you have a local bodega you visit everyday?” I often get questions about day to day living in the city. Actually, I asked these same questions when I first moved to the city and I learned my lesson the hard way!
Our second week in NYC my hubby was feeling under the weather. So, I headed to a nearby Whole Foods to stock up on my get-well stash (soup, orange juice, grilled cheese fixin’s and vitamins). Adding items to my cart, I was blissfully unaware of exactly how I was going to get home with all my groceries. It wasn’t until I started back home that I realized…my arms might not make it! A Rookie mistake…
Soon after, I discovered the grocery lifesaver for city living–FreshDirect!! FreshDirect is an online grocer specializing in organic and locally grown foods at much lower prices than many Manhattan grocery stores.
I can shop online, arrange a delivery date & time, and they deliver to your door for $5.99! Also, if an item arrives broken, damaged or missing they will replace the item for free! Done and done!
Grocery Shopping will NEVER be the same!
Loving the blog! Keep It up:) I always love watching Sex in the City and wonder what it’s really like to live there.
Thank you so much Tracy! I truly appreciate the positive feedback!
