Last week I contacted a personal shopper to help with groceries. He didn't get back to me until today, but seemed quite willing, so I gave it a try. I emailed him a list of things I needed from Trader Joe's and we found a time that was convenient to us both. He shopped, cellphone in hand, alerting me to shortages or changes and asking if I wanted to substitute. Then he delivered it to my door. Very convenient. For his time and trouble he gets 20% + an optional tip. It worked out well today. Some of the items are heavy and I would have a difficult time with them. I hope to use him again.
