Meeting Patti

I met a wonderful new friend today. Her name is Patti. Patti is my new personal shopper at Lowes Foods. I had heard about the Lowes Foods To Go program before I had no idea how wonderful it truly is. Here is how it works-

Late last night -while watching a movie with the family- I ordered my groceries online at Lowes Foods.com. I picked out everything from the exact number of bananas I wanted to the brand of toilet paper. This morning while I was most likely still in my jammies, Patti my personal shopper started filling the cart with groceries. My groceries. There were a couple items that she didn't have the brand/size I specified so Patti (my personal shopper) called me to make sure a substitution was alright. Sure Patti. Substitute. Shop on. I was still in my jammies.

At my predetermined time of choice (somewhere between 11:30-12:00 this morning) I drove up to Lowes Foods and pushed the little button (think Sonic style). Patti (my personal shopper) told me to pull around and she would load my groceries. I did. She did. Apparently, they held my cold items in their cooler in plastic bags. Everything else was in paper bags. I love paper bags. They fit so nicely in the back of the Durango. Patti (my personal shopper) had everything perfectly packed. (and no, I did not purchase any pickled peppers today). Within 5 minutes I was back on the road again and even Aaron was impressed with the ease of the process. "Wow Mom, we didn't even have to get out of the car!" That's right son. Patti takes care of everything for the low low price of $5.95...which is considerably less than I would have spent on impulse buys had I actually walked the store.

Honestly, I can't wait to send Patti (my personal shopper) shopping next week.
