I'm not doing a Costco run with a cargo bike and I'm not letting a delivery service pick out my produce.

That is of course your choice.

What I do is have heavy, bulky and durable stuff delivered in bulk. Cleaning supplies, toilet paper, tins and pickles, pasta, grains, legumes, things like that, you get the idea. This way the delivery cost amortises nicely.

Fresh things like vegetables and fruits I then buy myself using an ebike. Since it makes no sense to buy a lot of that at once (it'd only spoil) everything fits into a backpack.
