However, this is a highly polarizing topic and not everyone is convinced that online grocery shopping is ideal — per Rensselaer News, a study that was published earlier this month revealed that 90% of shoppers “who use online delivery services would likely revert back to their original way of shopping.” The article was shared in a Reddit thread which prompted some people to explain why online grocery shopping beats the traditional method. A Redditor wrote, “As a parent with small kids, I will be sticking with grocery delivery. I can shop at night once the kids are in bed. Any short comings are still better than trying to shop with a 3-year-old in the cart.” Another Redditor said that online shopping saves a lot of time — “at least and hour or 2 every week.”

Additionally, a Jungle Scout report last year mentioned that “when it comes to groceries and essential items, [shoppers] prefer Walmart.com, which leverages thousands of physical Walmart locations across the U.S. to provide familiar brands and easy curbside pickup.” These are huge perks for customers who value easy accessibility and convenience, the availability of well-known brands, and a sense of familiarity while shopping.
