Market Friday- Noon Grocery

Here's my post for Market Friday hosted by @dswigle.

As much as I wanted to go out somewhere and look for the items that I needed. I actually had no time. So instead of going somewhere, I went online to buy my stuff. I used an application called Noon. They have different services wherein the default feature is comparable to Amazon. They also have noon Food and noon grocery. I already tried ordering from the default service before. It's my first time ordering from Noon Grocery. I had to buy some vitamins and when I was comparing both the default and the grocery, the latter had more choices and it even had cheaper choices which surprised me. I had to buy some vitamin supplements and added other things. I just added them all to the cart, decided my delivery date and time, and paid for it. I'm actually surprised that they asked the date and time it would be delivered because back in the Philippines, it wasn't like that.

I ordered it during my day off so I'll be able to get it. The app was really convenient to use. I was patiently waiting for my order because I ordered it in a time frame from 10 am to 2 pm. It already passed 2 and my order wasn't there yet. I was wondering where it was already, then I received a message that the delivery was on its way. Then around 2:30, I heard the doorbell and I opened the door and it was the delivery guy from noon. I got this brown paper bag, and I noticed that it was cold. They must have stored it in a cold container. I also checked my phone and they sent me a message that the person was on his way and a photo of the bag in front of the doorstep prompting me to collect my goods as soon as I can.

The bag wasn't securely sealed. It made me wonder, what will happen if one of the items inside the bag would fall. So as soon as I opened it, I made sure that everything was inside.

I was wondering what was this yellow flyer and it was a Ramadan Calendar for 2022 where it showed all the timings of the Prayers.

These are the vitamin supplements that I got. Vitamin C and D. I was running out of my vitamins already that's why I decided to buy them. I bought them just to help me with my immune system. I don't want to get sick again and I also don't want to get affected by covid for the third time.

I also got some tahini. It's actually my first time getting a bottle of this. This is pure peeled roasted and ground sesame seeds I saw that they use this when they make hummus. I was just curious about what it tastes like and I would like to use it for future recipes.

Here comes the odd one out, the deodorant. I just had to get this just in case I ran out. I actually prefer using deodorant compared to antiperspirant. I remember when I used to use antiperspirant it ruined a lot of my shirts, especially the white and dark-colored ones, the antiperspirant left yellow residue on the underarms of my white shirts, and the colored shirts had a white residue which was difficult to remove.

Anyway, I'm actually happy that all my items came and they were all intact. One thing that bothered me was when I received the items cold, I was scared that it would have built up moisture on the soft gel capsules of the vitamins. Thankfully when I opened it, they were not affected. I also hope that they would be mindful of it and I also hope that it would come on time if ever I use this service again.
