There's a fresh fruit and veg market not far from where I work, so I do still walk over and pick up that stuff there. I ordered a bag of potatoes to be delivered last week, and that was all right, but I prefer to actually choose a lot of my fresh produce myself.
But yes, I'm getting all the big, heavy, bulky stuff delivered now which is saving my arms and back!
