My town has less than 1,000 people lol. I think we might be outnumbered by cows and chickens.

126 here. If you've got so much as a 7-11 or a gas station, you've got us beat. LOL

if i caught my survey comet last wednesday... does that mean it's coming today?

 

[rsmath]

Well, that's something I can persue: one never knows, does one. How do yo define "in the middle of nowhere"? And thanks for the lead!!

my takeaway of her reply is think about a major grocery store in whatever decent-sized city you consider nearby, visit their website, see if they have online ordering and then see if they have a delivery service that will deliver to you despite the distance.

I'm surprised at what she seems to be saying about InstaCart - you'd think they have limited delivery areas like most services but maybe they realize in some areas that rural deliveries are needed and offer that.

Before I moved back home, I lived in a town of about 1200, with multiple dairies surrounding that were larger (in size and number of heads) than the town.

Thanks for the food links, @HelloHello. I've used Amazon Prime and Netfllix both, and I much prefer the former. Amazon just seems to have a wider selection, plus some of the acknowledged "classics" show up regularly. E.g., they now have the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Dune, To Catch a Thief, the Groucho Mark program, The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery (Steve McQueen), PLUS a fair representation of sport-based flicks, AND a good selection of history stuff.

Wow! There are some bigger cities within about 45 minutes of us, but Holy Crap! 126!? That's impressively out there!

I think it depends on who is willing to sign-up and work for them. It seems to be like Uber, but for groceries....

Some of our local grocery stores are using InstaCart now. It's been really convenient. I live in the middle of nowhere too and I was really surprised that some of them have started using it now.

Sounds great. But not available here. We can't even get Meals-on-Wheels here. Nothing. No InstaCart, no home delivery--by ANYONE, no Uber, Lyft, the shuttle is unreachable, cabs are more expensive than in Houston(if you find one operating), and DoorDash is advertised, but not available. I've never in 45 years even seen a pizza delivery in this dump. It has it's own zip code, so it's easy to exclude. This is the great big empty spot on the map....or as I like to say, over-the-edge.

Right, but from what I know the local grocery store also has to be willing to work with the service. Which, I'd have expected a lot more pushback to that from a store in your area - today I learned.

Our last census says were at 500. Sure doesn't feel like it though.

Here's to tiny towns!

Yeah, InstaCart is the only service we have around here lol. When I was little there was a service that used to deliver fast food, but they only lasted about 6 months. I constantly order from InstaCart because I'm afraid they might consider it a waste of their time and stop at any minute.

Right, but from what I know the local grocery store also has to be willing to work with the service. Which, I'd have expected a lot more pushback to that from a store in your area - today I learned.

I did not know that! That's pretty cool that they'd let them do it!

InstaCart doesn't trip out here , but you're idea about contacting some "local" stores is a great one!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!
