Who doesn’t love shopping on the Internet these days? One of the supermarket chains in the South East just took this idea to a whole new level. As of today, Publix Supermarkets now offers a service through a company called Shipt. This is how it works: you pick out your groceries through an app and your groceries can be delivered to your door in as little as an hour.

This is a great idea for those people who have difficulty getting to the store because they don’t drive or have a hard time getting out of the house all together. I’ve heard of other supermarkets in various states providing similar services but, am really happy that Publix has stepped up to the plate to offer this service to their customers too.

While there is a charge for the service, they also provide free deliveries of your groceries on orders over $35. In the long run, it’s really not bad since more than likely you’d have to pay someone to help you get to the store anyway. Lucky for me, Publix is the grocery store where I shop on a weekly basis.

Just think how many people this service will be able to help. Even if you forget a few things at the store, and don’t have time to go back and get them, this alternative can be of great assistance. In a subsequent post, I’ll rate the service and talk in depth about my overall experience. I’m really excited to see how this piece of technology actually works since I think it’s pretty cool to take care of your grocery list right from your smartphone. While they advertise that they have a wide variety of items for you to choose from, I even read that if your item isn’t available for some reason, your shopper will text you with other items that are at the store which are similar to what you need. Lastly, it’s a great resource to have available that will make living independently for many people that much more easier.

What do you think about having this option available in your area?

Today I’m applauding “The Ice Bucket Challenge”. Until a few days ago, I didn’t realize the impact it’s been having, not only on Social Media but, also raising awareness and funds for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Sometimes, if you’ve seen the annual Muscular Dystrophy Telethon, you hear about this disability but, for the most part, it’s not mentioned very often.

I’m all for raising awareness on important issues, especially disability issues. Although there’s a backlash going on about this challenge, you can’t please everyone all the time. I think it’s pretty cool that it has gotten the country involved in a good cause. Everyone from Dr. Dre to Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler have accepted the challenge. People have also donated money to the cause to help out.

Either way, it’s bringing people together, raising awareness for a good cause and of course helping in a unique way. I once knew someone who lived with ALS. Unfortunately, they passed away some years ago but, I’ll never forget their voice and the sunshine they carried around with them that lit up a room instantly.
