Here are five online stores and groceries where you can buy all the essentials you need for the 30-day home quarantine: 1. Metro Mart Metro Mart delivers to 17 cities in and around Metro Manila. It has more than 30,000 products, including food and medicine, offered at the same price as its partner stores. According to Metro Mart page, delivery time is about two hours. Customers can pay either through credit or debit card, or cash on delivery. It also has an official application available for both Android and IOS users. Website: https://www.metromart.com/ 2. The Green Grocer For those who want switch to a healthier diet in the next 30 days, the Green Grocer is your best home delivery partner. The Green Grocer delivers fresh and organic produce to people’s doorsteps Aside from fruits and vegetables, it also offers “all-natural meats, farm-direct dairy products, premium deli items, and other grocery necessities.” The shop’s products are from their partner farms in Tagaytay, Laguna, Batangas, Benguet, Negros, and Bukidnon. “We synchronize with the harvest schedules of our farms and ensure that the produce you receive is within hours of its harvest,” The Green Grocer said on its official website. Customers who order from Saturday until Monday noon will have their products Wednesday or Thursday, while orders placed Monday afternoon until Thursday noon will be delivered on Saturday.
