My time is worth $44 to me

I love Simon Delivers, especially during busy times. The ease of ordering something on my lunch break over the internet and having it delivered to my house (and then put away by Tim) is amazing.

I was thinking that I'd order from them next week when I'm taking a day off work to do a bunch of cooking. Some stuff as gifts, some things to make my life easier while I have houseguests (although I'm not having as many as I planned.) I'd checked all my recipes and entered everything in to the site. $200. Oof. But not bad for 20 meals.

Out of curiousity, I printed out my "cart" and took it with me when I went to Cub tonight. I didn't check everything on the list -- just the meat, dairy and things I walked past. Tallied it up when I got home. Double Oof.

Not including the $5 delivery fee, I'd be paying a $44 premium to have this stuff delivered to me. Guess who is going to be hoofing around Cub next week with a monster list.
