Many years ago, delivery came at a price that driving to pick up, for me, was more economical. Even when delivery prices were lowered, I chose to pick up. Occasionally, I would exceed the minimum for free delivery, which I would take.
Then came Amazon Prime, which offered free delivery for a membership fee. At first, we did not become a Prime member. Then our purchases began increasing, making a Prime membership worth it. The local big box stores started offering free shipping when above a minimum threshold. Sometimes, there are promotions for completely free shipping or members of the rewards program.
Nowadays, I often don't go the store anymore. I research on the internet, place my order, and get it delivered in 1-2 days. Sometimes, there is even free same day delivery.
I don't know if it's because I'm older; I don't like search in the store; or I don't like the time it takes to drive to the store. Whatever the reason, I'm using the internet to buy items and get it deliver.
However, I still don't and I don't plan to order online and get delivery of groceries. I still prefer to shop and pick out my items for purchase, especially the fresh produce, at least for now.
