Yep our Homeland has started delivery. It is 5.1 miles from my house.
There is a place called Crest that is 4.7 miles and a Walmart Supercenter 4.8 miles, but they are always very crowded..
Delivery seems fine for dry goods, just don't see it for the typical refrigerated or perishable items. Haven't checked into delivery pricing, but when was down with my foot my SIL would shop for Mom and I. Paid her $20 a trip once a week. The trips usually took almost an hour and a half. Had to rely on her to pickup the best and freshest stuff.
Since single and rarely have a full fridge, put a bunch of 1/2 gallon plastic milk cartons is my fridge and freezer to take up the unused space. Haven't actually tested it with my watt-o-meter but logic says the less air the faster and cheaper to recover from the door being opened letting all the cold air out if there is less empty space. Don't notice the fridge running as much any more, that could be because I fixed it so it doesn't sound like a fart when the compressor stops.
