Do you enjoy going grocery shopping? Going to the grocery store, navigating through the aisles, trying to follow a shopping list without picking up things you don't need, and then standing in line isn't fun. Not to mention that you have to leave home. Fortunately, grocery delivery services like Instacart and Amazon Fresh let you shop anywhere from the comfort of your phone or fancy new Android tablet.

Amazon has become the service when it comes to at-home deliveries. Particularly during the pandemic, when many shoppers were hesitant to go into stories, the e-commerce retailer further established itself as the go-to option for online shopping. It even offered special discounts to Prime members through its Alexa-enabled smart speakers and displays. And since its acquisition of Whole Foods Market, Amazon has been offering grocery delivery services with its Amazon Fresh service, taking the stress and inconvenience out of one of the most common errands run by people around the country.

Popular grocery shopping list Out of Milk has been sold, and its new owner wants to terminate all contracts with users outside of the US and Canada. That's a shame — from all I hear, Out of Milk is a great service millions of people love to use. But for many, this news means it's time to move on, and even if you reside in the US or Canada, you might be wary about the future of the app. That's where my favorite grocery shopping app could come in, created by a team of Swiss and German developers — Bring.

There are plenty of apps to help you remember what to buy from the supermarket. Some people, like me, like to have everything in a single place and use to-do list apps to keep track of what they need to buy. There are also more specific apps, like Bring or Out of Milk, that focus specifically on making grocery shopping easier. The latter, however, just got bought by an American company that doesn't want to deal with users outside of the US and Canada.

We were a bit perplexed earlier in the year when we saw that Walmart had mysteriously disappeared from Google Express, but it seems the two companies are still collaborating on other ventures. Online grocery shopping with pickup or delivery is a popular service from Walmart, and it's now getting even easier with a new Google Assistant voice ordering capabilities.
