There are plusses and minuses.

reynardoI now do my BIG monthly shop online, and it gets delivered at civilised hours like 9pm just when you're feeling peckish.
This is good because I save on the taxi fare from Katoomba, I make a list and am (supposedly) far more organised, and the prices can be cheaper.
This is bad for fruit and meat because I'm a tactile shopper. I need to smell the melons, see the fat content of the steaks, see the colour of the grapes.
But tonight I received the order where I decided to try out the fruit and vegetables. The avocados and the buck choy are ok, but not great.
The butternut pumpkin is tiny.
It's less than a hand-span high and I can wrap my fingers around the girth of the upper half and the tips overlap. It doesn't even weigh one kilogram. I could eat the enitre thing as a side vegetable.
My local fruit-and-vegie shop is excellent, but I don't get up to the shop some nights until after it closes some nights.
It was worth trying this out. Now I know.
