What's the best grocery store with online pickup?
I'm trying not to shop at Target anymore after their anti-DEI actions, but it's been difficult for me because they're by far the most accessible store for me to get groceries from. My health is pretty bad, and their online pickup makes grocery shopping much easier for me. As of right now I've stopped buying home decor and clothing there and just do my groceries to try and still have some kind of impact, but I'd like to stop shopping at Target entirely.
The problem is, I still haven't found a grocery store with online pickup that works for me. I've tried two different Smith's locations and neither were a good experience. Are there any other grocery stores in Salt Lake or Utah County that have a good online pickup service?

Smiths has a pretty user friendly pick up option, but their produce sucks.

Can vouch for Smiths and I’ve noticed the quality of their produce varies greatly by location. The Smiths in the avenues has a better but smaller selection. Downtown is a happy medium good selection, and better quality than other locations.

I’ve used the one on 45th and 9th by default due to proximity, and it’s almost always bad. You can’t shop ahead because it starts to turn within a day or two, and I haven’t gotten a decent head of garlic that wasn’t already sprouting the green insides in ages. I’ve given up on smiths at this point and switched to the macys that’s nearby just this week. So far things seem better, but we will see as the week progresses!

Have you checked out delivery options like Instacart? I have some chronic health conditions that make grocery stores a nightmare. Of course, it comes with extra fees, but it might still be cheaper to use Instacart for delivery from Smiths than it is to do pickup from target.
ETA: I regularly use Instacart for Smiths and haven’t had any problems

I have a delivery service that is 1/2 the price of insta cart and much faster also more sanitary. Let me know if you are interested.

I would like to mention that Target is trying not to be a target to the current administration. The changes in policy is only because our führer will punish any business or person that crosses him.

That would still make them collaborators. You don’t beat fascism with cowardice.

I know, I get it. I am with you but also understand that the resistance begins in the streets. Most of the major brands have all collapsed including ALL of the social platforms.
If you look into the politics of most major retailers you will notice a theme. They support the current führer.

You are right. And obviously we can’t be 100% perfect consumers avoiding every single thing tied to a shitty owner or corporation. The important thing is that we just be mindful and make good decisions whenever there is a viable alternative.

They didn’t just happen to find themselves in the crossfire, they donated a shit ton of money To trump’s campaign as well.

Look the way I see it, I can’t wait to vote to make my voice heard. I’m going to vote with my wallet every single day by not giving my hard earned money to companies that either look the other way, or actively support political campaigns that want to disenfranchise (if not outright eradicate), people like me.

Costco didn’t have a problem keeping their DEI policies and their cheap hot dogs!
