Holiday Food via Phone
O’Brian Gunn
If you’re too busy to shop for your own groceries and/or don’t enjoy having to fight through the crowds to wait in line at the grocery store, you’ll be pleased to know that there are several grocery delivery services available in Denver — pretty handy if you’re the one in charge of the food on the 25th.
Door-to-Door Organics
Door-to-Door Organics specializes in delivering organic, fresh, and seasonal groceries from local suppliers. You can shop for produce, meat, fish, beverages, and deli items on their website. When ordering, you can select a box of produce, delivery day, and set up preferences for the foods you like and those you don’t. You even have the option of shopping by recipe to quickly assemble everything you need for a new dish. Currently, they offer free delivery. doortodoororganics.com
Fooducopia
Fooducopia is an online grocery store that offers quality artisan foods, as well as local and seasonal selections. One unique feature with Fooducopia is that they offer local honey, jams, and syrups as well as kitchen supplies and toiletries. Besides groceries, the online store also offers catering and has a café at the corner of Kentucky and Race. fooducopia.com
Instacart
What sets Instacart apart from other grocery delivery services is that they utilize personal shoppers who will go to your favorite local grocery stores and deliver the order to your door. Supported local stores include Whole Foods, Kroger, Costco, Super Fresh, and The Food Emporium. How’s it work? You go to their website, enter your location, add items to your cart (at least $10 worth), and choose your delivery time. A personal shopper will receive your order via smartphone and pick up all of the items on your list before delivering them to your door. While most users choose the two-hour delivery window for a $4 fee, you can have your groceries delivered within an hour for a $15 delivery fee. instacart.com
The next time you’re in for a busy week or simply don’t feel like picking up your own groceries, hop online instead of in your car and get to shopping.
