Pick Up and Delivery Services. Wegmans, Harris Teeter and some Giant stores allow you to place your grocery order and come pick it up. Most all of our local grocery stores deliver groceries to your door through Instacart, except Trader Joe’s. Whole Foods delivers through Amazon Prime. Needless to say, these options are being heavily used and there are longer wait times. These services cannot provide products that are out of stock in the grocery stores. If someone else is doing your shopping, expect to get more requests to substitute items on your grocery list for products or quantities that are in stock in the stores.
