Like everything in life it depends. I started using a local online grocery delivery service last year. Before, I have to go to several small market and spend a few hours trying to find good vegetables and meat. The delivery service now does that and charge a bit higher than local rates. He does not own inventory but rather go to buy food from his trusted sources. The result is high quality vegetables/meat than I can get on my own and also delivered to my door the next day (or at the end of the day). If you want to buy your own food yourself it'd help if you live somewhere gentrified. It would make sense to use your community and you only need to step out of your apartment's building to find the grocery and the bakery. But if you live 3-4 km from the nearest one, the delivery service is a life-saver.
