Buying Groceries Online | 线上购买杂货
Some local grocery stores allow you to place orders online and will deliver them to you. This is a good option for when the weather is bad, but does require advanced planning and comes with additional fees. Stores often have specials to waive fees on first orders. Downloading apps may also be the easiest way to create and track orders.

Tips
You should always tip your grocery delivery person, usually 5-10% (more if the weather is bad). Most grocery delivery services allow you to include a tip in your online order or you can tip your delivery person in cash when they arrive.
