Introduction: Two Ways to Shop, One Personal Service


Whether you love planning your week or find yourself running low at the last minute, I offer delivery options that fit your pace.


Some clients schedule a regular weekly delivery. Others reach out when they need something same-day. I work with both—because life doesn’t run on a perfect schedule.


Here’s the difference between scheduled and same-day delivery—and how to decide which fits your lifestyle best.


1. Scheduled Delivery: Ideal for Routine & Meal Planning


If you like to:

  • Plan meals in advance

  • Grocery shop at the same time every week

  • Stick to a regular household routine


...then scheduled delivery is likely the best fit. Benefits include:

  • Guaranteed time slot

  • First pick of my availability

  • More time for you to finalize your list

  • Priority for recurring clients


Clients who schedule ahead often enjoy a smoother experience—especially for larger or more specific orders.


2. Same-Day Delivery: Great for Flexible, On-the-Go Needs


Need something fast? Same-day delivery works well when:

  • You’ve run out of a few essentials

  • You have unexpected guests or changes in plans

  • You’re sick or staying home unexpectedly


I’m also happy to accommodate full grocery lists on short notice when I have room in my schedule. Whether it’s a few items or a complete restock, I shop with the same level of care—no matter the size of the order.


When my schedule allows, I complete most same-day orders within 90–120 minutes. If I’m free and your list is ready, delivery can sometimes be even faster.


💡 Pro tip: You can let me know in advance that you might need a same-day order and send your final list later—it helps me hold space for you.


3. How I Help You Decide What Works Best


Not sure which route is best for you? I’ll help you figure it out based on:

  • Your weekly rhythm and budget

  • Whether you prefer routine or flexibility

  • How much time you have to build a list

  • Whether you prefer to “set it and forget it” or go with the flow


Many of my clients do a combination—one scheduled delivery for the bulk of their groceries, and smaller same-day orders as needed.

Not Local? Tips for Choosing the Right Grocery Delivery Approach


  • Use scheduled orders to avoid impulse spending

  • Leave room in your week for one flexible add-on order

  • Keep a running list in your phone for same-day needs

  • Choose a shopper or service that can flex with your schedule


Even if you’re outside my area, these strategies help you stay stocked without stress.
