It was the reading days before finals week at the Rutger University Campus in New Brunswick, New Jersey. My desk was stacked high with an accumulation of a semester’s worth of notes, my trashcan stacked higher with a week’s worth of empty delivery food containers.

As my bank account pleaded for an end to the tour-de off campus dining I seemed to have been participating in, I had no desire to eat mediocre dining hall food ever again.

Plagued by the same dilemma, my freshmen friends and I decided to venture to the local Fresh Grocer supermarket, just a short walk from the main campus.

Upon entering the establishment we immediately acknowledged the error of our previous ways. After a semester of ignoring its existence,I had seen dining alternatives in a new light! I could purchase 4 frozen dinners and a pack of Ramen for the price of just one delivery. I vowed to never make the mistake of choosing expensive delivery over groceries as an alternative to a meal swipe at the dining hall.

For my sophomore year, I decided to live in a dorm once more, but lower my meal plan to one swipe a day. I would depend greatly on the grocery store for the rest of my sustenance.

Unfortunately, upon my arrival to school, my precious Fresh Grocer had been bought and re-purposed by the local hospital as a wellness center. I pleaded for forgiveness from my whimpering bank account as I re-entered the world of Delivery takeout.

Across the state, my parents were facing a similar problem to mine as they had recently moved from a suburb riddled with grocery stores, to Jersey City. The up-and-coming place to live as a less expensive alternative to Manhattan, Jersey City is filled with swanky restaurants and trendy attractions. The city seems almost too good to be true with the exception of its lack of supermarkets.

As fun and clean-up free as it is for my empty nester parents to go out to dinner every night, that gets expensive. However when there’s no food at home, the best alternative to going out is delivery. While their budget certainly isn’t as limited as the hungry college student with little to no income, the price of dining in via takeout still trumps that of a couple of chicken thighs on the grill.

Yet, having food delivered continues to prevail even for neighborhoods privileged with the presence of grocery stores; as I eat my pad thai about half way between the Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods Market in the East Village, the sound of “New Seamless Order” seems to be the only soundtrack the restaurant has chosen to play.

Although groceries are the less expensive option, it seems if you are willing to wait 20-40 minutes, you can have your cake delivered, and eat it too.
