It can be a boon for those of us who are car-less. There are times when I'm
real tired of dragging around heavy bulk items even in my shopping cart and
I've also used it when I've been ill (gout!) or when the weather has been
extremely inclement...

I know a coupla peeps who live on the third floors of their respective
buildings and they use it to avoid having to lug stuff up those stairs,
Peapod delivers it right up to yer kitchen...

Some of my pals also do a lot of cook-outs and such in the summer and they
order most all the stuff from Peapod. It's great to have cases of beer,
numerous bottles of liquor, mixers, party supplies, food, etc. taken care of
all in one fell swoop. These folks have big SUV's, belong to Costco, etc.,
but they are very busy and it's handy to have the stuff delivered, cuts out
a lot of stress and running around....

It's also great if you have pets, no more dragging around of kitty litter,
big bags of dog food, etc.
