        $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.

          It doesn’t say she only spends $35, it says $35 is the minimum she has to spend to avoid the charge.
