I've been using Small Potatoes Urban Delivery (SPUD.ca) for about a month and I LOVE it. I am autistic and had really been struggling with the sensory overload and decision fatigue involved in shopping at local supermarkets. The tinny music and flickering fluorescent lighting, plus lots of other people - ack!! I'd also been getting really stressed lately about locking my bike outside the store; I use double locks, but there have been a LOT of thefts lately in that area.

I thought I would end up spending more on the deliveries, but it would be worth it to have a break from the shopping struggle. However, it turns out I am saving quite a lot of money because I can stick to my list, and take advantage of the weekly specials (which never seem to be in stock in the supermarket, or are displayed somewhere weird and I can't find them). The produce has been *beautiful*.

I've also set up monthly deliveries of toilet paper, cat litter, instant coffee, and cleaning supplies through Amazon.

Now I can use my time and energy to ride my bike to more interesting places!
