One of the big issues that a lot of people have is that most recipes and food items are packed for two or more people. That's one of the reasons that so many people tend to eat out a lot.

I was just talking about Prime Now, which is included with the regular prime subscription. We don't have the amazon grocery delivery service in our city. There are some deliver service where you have to pay a fee, but they are way too expensive for me. Prime Now if you pick the 2 hour delivery is free. And a tip is optional from the app. But they only have some produce stuff, no meats or anything. Other than some sliced ham or such.
Prime Now has added some Whole Foods item in the app here. About 100.
But they already had some frozen, cooled stuff before. Milk, cheese, bread, frozen veggies, etc. Too high, but if you can't get somewhere quick and need something, its handy.
