There's a game to online grocery shopping. Set the alarm for 1am. Throw items in cart, check out quickly so that you can reserve a time two weeks in the future.
Then spend two weeks curating the items in that cart carefully, lovingly down to the last possible moment the night before the delivery, all the while recognizing that you are unlikely to get all of the items you ordered. If I order the expensive coconut milk instead of the cheap coconut milk, will it come then? What about if I order two expensive and two cheap? Better to have too much or not enough? It's easy to get overzealous. No small bags of oranges? No problem. I'll order a big bag. And that is how I ended up with 8 pounds of oranges yesterday. Oops.
