As Calgarians have been home trying to flatten the curve, many of us have turned to home-delivery services for food essentials. Local businesses offer pre-made meals and ingredients delivered to your door allowing you tasty meals without ever having to leave the comfort of your home. If you are looking for meals or grocery options for delivery, check out these eight services – some you may have never considered.
