This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Jewel-Osco. The opinions and text are all mine.
If you’re like me, you actually like cooking around the holidays. The act of putting on your apron (you wear an apron, don’t you? – I’m looking at YOU TOO GUYS!) and flitting around the kitchen checking on baking times, folding egg yolks into batter, and frying up something good is one of the most therapeutic things that I can do. However, grocery shopping around the holidays is not. I usually love my grocery store runs. Going down each and every aisle to see what’s new, or what I want, but when the week of Thanksgiving hits – it’s like a madhouse. That’s why I’m so happy that Jewel-Osco now provides delivery service. Mostly because the store is a mile away from my house, so I’m guaranteed that I’ll have my groceries delivered within an hour of having them pulled off of the shelf.
When I was first looking into this, I was bemoaning the fact that I wouldn’t be able to maneuver around the order site. Wrong. You can shop by aisle – what I do anyway, and you can schedule delivery to YOUR preference. They have 1, 2, or 4 hour windows, AND same day delivery as long as you order by 1:00 pm. Delivery windows are available 7 days a week, and you can start as early as 7 in the morning or go as late as 10 in the evening. If having your groceries delivered right to your front door (shout out to not having to unload your own car with kids in it!) then you can choose Drive Up & Go at certain locations. That way, you STILL don’t have to step foot into the holiday grocery shopping madness. Here’s the schedule for ordering at the time that is most convenient to you.
-
Order before 3:00 am for delivery between 7:00 am and 10:00 am (hey night owl!)
-
Order before 5:00 am for delivery between 11:00 am and 4:00 pm (hey early bird)
-
Order before 1:00 pm for delivery between 5:00 pm and 10:00 pm (hey me!)

Home delivery fees vary by delivery window, but are typically:
For those of you who stick to strict meal plans, you can even shop by history. I know that I am in need of a certain type of butter for my coffee and a certain type of butter for my baking, so I can keep both of those on my history and not worry about anything. I also don’t have to worry about keeping that butter cold either. The delivery trucks are equipped with freezers and chilled departments so everything stays at the temperature it should until it gets to my front door. Quite honestly, that’s better than I can do sometimes. Especially when I’m running errands, and decide to get something frozen that wasn’t on my list and don’t remember until it’s a soggy mess when I get home and unload.

We’re making butter cookies as parts of Christmas gifts this year, Mor Mor Baby’s specialty that I’m trying, and I’m not sure if you’ve ever seen the looks on faces of folks when you’re clearing a bunker of butter. I’m so happy that an employee could do it, so it looks like they aren’t being as butter hungry as I am. This service also allowed me to continue with baking instead of having to turn my stove off and restart when I came home. I’ll be sharing that butter cookie recipe with you later this week, so you’ll want to tune in! Until then, check out more about Jewel Osco grocery delivery, and get ready to ease your grocery shopping woes!

I hate to go to the store during the holiday season because of the crowds. This is super convenient.
Tanya Barnett says
I wish we had services like this where I live. I live in the suburbs so none of the services go out to where we live.
Crystal Nicole says
This is right up my alley! I hate going to the store unless I absolutely have to so I would definitely use this!
Kisha says
I love going to the supermarket albeit during “off peak” hours. Unfortunately, I’m not able to and have begun to seriously consider food delivery and you make it seem very doable!
Natasha Nicholes says
I actually like grocery shopping too, but this season was rough for me as far as patience goes. This saved MY life and the patience of people having to deal with me and my mood.
Kita says
I have been enjoying the delivery options available here so I am know just how you feel about this. I love cooking around the holidays too. We are traveling but I am definitely putting together a little holiday meal for me and my kiddos.
Bianca Dottin says
I live for grocery home delivery service! I wish this was available to us in Orlando. I would definitely take advantage of it especially during our “cold” or rainy days.
Nanekia says
I have not been to the grocery store in 3 months because of this service. I CANNOT with the grocery store so this is me keeping my blood pressure down and using bail money for something else.
Eva says
I hate thr grocery store with everything inside me. The husband shops. Grocery delivery is just… well… a requirement for me at this point. Either hubby does it, or we’ll have to have a service… lol
Michelle Thames says
This is so clutch!! I need to get on board with grocery delivery because I just never have the time. I am planning to start meal planning next year and this will be great for us.
Mimi Green says
Listen anytime I can get food delivered to my home I am on board. I spent so much time in the grocery store, it is legit a time suck.
Terri says
I actually have an apron that I don’t wear. But this post is actually making me want to break it out. Also, I’m a big fan of grocery delivery since having my son!
Ashleigh says
Grocery delivery is SUCH a lifesaver especially for the cold and busy months where shopping is more difficult. I also don’t have a car so delivery helps me not have to lug heavy items on the walk back from the store!
Danasia Fantastic says
Oh this is awesome! I’d love to get my groceries delivered.
Katherine G says
My goodness! This service sounds amazing! I would love to have a service like this near me. It would be nice to just order something on occasion instead of having to run out.
