21 online grocery stores you can shop from the comfort of your home

With the recent social distancing measures and many of us working from home, most of us will want to do our grocery shopping online instead. While grocery shopping is essential, overcrowding in a grocery store is never a good idea, especially now.

Here's a comprehensive list of all the online grocery stores that can help you during this period, and even after!
