Groceries delivered to your door.....sign me up!

At book club a few weeks, over some amazing roasted golden beets with orange segments and dill, my friends were discuss grocery stores....mostly b/c none of us read the book and that is what women in the suburbs do.  Turns out, one of my friends gets her groceries delivered to her door, on a day's notice, in the same zip code I live in.  She claimed this magical grocery store has grass fed, organic food as well as prepared dishes and paper towels.  What?!?!?!?!  This time of year is ridiculously busy for us all, safe to say, if someone can deliver dinner to my door,  I had to check it out!  Elephant Grocers is PHENOMENAL!  They have amazing quality, deliver the next day for a small fee, and have an amazing selection of products similar to a Whole Foods or Fresh Market for around the same price.  Did I mention they deliver!!!  You can get your groceries while in your jammies....assuming you do not usually shop in your sweat pants and glasses right after carpool, hoping you don't run into Harry Connick Jr. in the frozen food section.

I took the plunge, ordered a ton of food and was blown away!  The quality is exceptional and so were the prices.  My favorite products were the beets (obsessed), my Beecher Peppercorn White Cheddar from Seattle and lastly a jar of blue cheese olives, can you say, "Bloody Mary Bar!"

My groceries came to my door in 3 boxes;  packed with dry ice and regular ice packs with everything labeled and ready to go.  I had a dinner to prepare, snacks for our kids, perfect produce and kept a box to mail my holiday gifts in.  OH, and they gave me a coupon for 25% off my first order!  Game on!

Check them out...order lots of stuff...try the Grass Fed Beef...tell me what you think!
