I get everything delivered. Oatmeal. Diapers. Books. I’m a big time internet shopper.  So I was really stoked to find a new company called SPUD.  They deliver organic groceries. And they do it right.

Things I love about them:

- They tell you how many miles your food came from in your itemized receipt. Last week my eggs came from 30 miles away (yay!).

- Groceries get delivered in a reusable produce box that they pick up the next week. They are very conservative with their plastic produce bag usage too.

- They pick and choose a produce box for me (love the variety of having someone else choose!) but I can go on their website and modify it according to my needs. They send me an email every week as a reminder to let me know when the deadline is.

- The selection is great. So I can now get eggs, milk, salmon, bread, etc delivered to my doorstep.

The price is about the same as my local grocery. But if you’ve been to the Whole Foods in Santa Monica, you’ll know that the merchandisers are evil geniuses preying on the buying impulses of harried mothers. So I actually save money.

Do I miss the community feeling of going to a grocery store? Hell no. I can use that time to do other community things like taking Audrey to the park or library.  Hooray for internet shopping. Hooray for SPUD.
