Nearly seven in 10 Americans think the normal grocery story run will be a thing of the past because of the coronavirus pandemic, a new research said.

The study asked two thousand Americans about their views on shopping as the global pandemic took place. The results showed that most of the respondents are open to find new ways to get their groceries.

Sixty-four percent of the respondents said they used grocery deliveries and 55 percent of them have tried meal kit delivery services.

The research also showed that 68 percent of the respondents used their time in quarantine to think of other ways to get through food shopping and cooking.

The survey was conducted by OnePoll for HelloFresh. Claudia Sidoti, principal chef and head of Recipe Development at HelloFresh, said everyone is adjusting to the new normal.

In a FOX News report, Sidoti recognized how difficult it can be to look for a new way to meet grocery shopping needs.

Worries on Grocery Shopping

Some 44 percent of the respondents said the main challenge they saw with going to a physical grocery store is the shortages in products.

Other than that, 42 percent of them are also worried about the cleanliness of the products they buy. They are also concerned with the cleanliness of the grocery store as a whole.

With just these worries, 28 percent said they often feel anxious when they have to do the grocery run in the middle of the pandemic.

More than 60 percent of them also said they don't have the money to stock up on supplies to limit going out of their house.

The poll also showed that the average time the respondents last went out for groceries was three weeks ago.

The normal shopping time of those surveyed were also cut by around 10 minutes compared to before the pandemic.

A good 37 percent of those polled also said they were less likely to buy on impulse because of the pandemic.

The Rise of Online Shopping

Online shopping had been around for a long time, but it took a pandemic for some American shoppers to push them online.

As the pandemic progressed, grocery shoppers started downloading apps for the first time and bought their groceries online than in the physical stores. That means most of the grocery shopping moved online, reported CNBC.

Online shopping in the United States made for 5.1 percent of grocery sales by the end of 2019 and went up to 6.6 percent in April 12, said a Bain & Co. report released on Thursday.

The Tech Crunch reported on a new research as well, where Brick Meets Click and Mercatus found that online grocery sales hit $7.2 billion in June, up 9 percent when compared to May, as the pandemic progressed.

This amount is almost double the $4 billion seen in March 2020, when the U.S. first went under lockdown.

The Steve Caine of the Bain & Co. report called the trend a "wake-up call" to look for sustainable models.

Online grocery shopping had caught the attention of many consumers to reduce risks during the pandemic.

Many stores already have a mix of online offerings, from in-store service to using third-party companies like Instacart to pick and deliver groceries.
