Why I Love Fresh Direct

I love Fresh Direct so, so much. It’s based here in NYC so I feel good about supporting a (booming) local business. And I found out today you can actually order from some local vendors through Fresh Direct! I know it’s pricey to do Fresh Direct, but for someone like me who is constantly working (although that’s let up a bit now that my 23/6 and MTV assignments are over) and who doesn’t actually have much of a social life (beyond, like, weekend live comedy shows) Fresh Direct is THE JAM!

In the spirit of truly dorky oversharing, here’s my shopping list for this week!

    This is honestly just TMI Sara!
    Teasing. Everything on your list looks fab. I’m just really envious with the whole delivery service. Because when I go to the grocery store and attempt to pathetically push the cart, bitches get hurt. Fo realz!

    Oh snap Sara, now you’re going to get tons of targeted spam ads. But maybe it will help you figure out what’s the best Chunky Tomato Bisque out there on the market now.
