New Orleans—

Jacque Egan, with list in hand, walks into grocery store to do the shopping. She looks for specific items like Creole Cream Cheese and prepared red beans, not the kind in the can.

After she heads down the aisles, filling her cart with all the things on the list, she checks out with her own environmentally friendly green colored grocery bags.

A short while later not far from the store, she unloads all the bags from her car, and when she gets to the door, another woman opens the door happy to see her.

You see, Jacque Egan was not shopping for her family. She shops for other people in her new online company: Groceryagogo.com.

Maureen McConnell is delighted to receive everything on the list. McConnell is a busy mom and wife in Metairie, with a long list of things to follow as well. So one less errand on her busy platter was why she took advantage of this new service in the Greater New Orleans area.

"My husband and I both have non-traditional jobs that vary wildly all the the time," McConnell said, "It affords us the flexibility when you can sit a computer at ten o'clock at night and order your stuff, and the next day it comes to you and frees you up to do other stuff."

"You go on the website. You shop there. You load your virtual cart out and you check out there, so nothing has to be done. So we can leave it at your door so it's waiting when you get home," Egan said.

Egan shops for people across the region since her company started delivering in December.  She says her many of her clients are actually mothers with lots to do, including new mothers.

The idea for Groceryagogo came, Egan says, after shopping for her elderly parents and some of their neighbors. She thought she could actually shop for others as a business.

While there are specifice groceries offered on the website, she will find groceries and special orders not listed and add them to the menu.

And for those without internet access, she will still deliver through phone orders.

As for McConnell's active schedule, Groceryagogo is helpful.

"It fills the gaps for us. It's like having an extra person to do something," McConnell said.
