Imagine no more lines, no more overloaded grocery carts going rogue in the parking lot, no more trekking three miles from the produce aisle to hardware because you forgot to pick up an extra lightbulb. Some of life's most tedious problems could be gone instantly if Walmart starts delivering groceries purchased online.

A tipster told Bloomberg News the superstore is testing out home delivery service in the San Jose, California area. That would mean customers could order a new bike with a side of deli meat.
It wouldn't be the first superstore to hop on the grocery delivery concept: Safeway delivers groceries bought online the same day and Amazon offers a grocery delivery service in Seattle. Kmart and Sears are planning to test out the format soon too, according to WalletPop.

Imagine grocery shopping for the week in your pajamas while watching "Top Chef". Now imagine how much you'd spend. On top of the standard purchase, you've got delivery fees and tip to consider. There's also the fact that grocery carts provide a built-in budget. If you can't fit that extra jar of peanut butter in your basket you probably won't get it. But if you cant see the heft of your purchase, you're less likely to monitor how much you buy. And if you're hungry while you're shopping? Forget it. But if you're schedule is packed, that time saved ordering online is money well spent.

It's still too soon predict whether Walmart will offer the service nationwide. But considering what one poor customer just went through when he was superglued to a Walmart toilet seat by an anonymous prankster, that delivery service can't come soon enough.
