$7 a month is $3.50 per delivery. That's like the cost of a round trip bus ticket. And someone is spending the time and effort shopping for you. And $35 is not a burdensome minimum for 2 weeks of groceries.

To steelman the article, the real cost comes in with the fact they sneak in markups on the prices of the items.
