Mere months after my family started making more in-person trips to the grocery store, we're returning to curbside pickup as COVID-19 cases surge in our state, Florida, and across the country.
Other shoppers are turning back to getting groceries delivered or picking them up curbside.
According to a new report from Gallup, the percentage of U.S. adults who say they order groceries online for pickup or delivery at least monthly has doubled from 11% in 2019 to 23% today.
While there are fees to look out for, it's also possible to save money and time in addition to reducing potential exposure to the coronavirus.
