A Well-Stocked Pantry

Feeding yourself is the first step towards your reclusive goals and also the easiest. In fact, you've probably already been doing it for years by ordering takeout. The tried and true method of ringing your local pizzeria still applies, of course, but online options such as Seamless and Eat24 are quickly becoming the delivery norm. While their restaurant selections are limited, in part, to which companies choose to use the services, you can routinely score 15-percent-plus discounts on your orders without having to open your front door to get the knob hanger coupons. In more of a snacking mood? NatureBox will send you a monthly delivery of five sizable healthy-snack packages for $20 a month. It might not be as fun as the Bacon of the Month Club, but it should help keep the scurvy at bay. Delivery is handy and all but it deprives you of a very rewarding indoor hobby (and, believe me, you're going to need a lot of them if you're never going outside again): cooking. Luckily, in recent years a number of fresh grocery delivery services have sprung up around the country. FreshDirect was the original, but more recent services can score you everything from farm-fresh ingredients (Quinciple: NYC-only) to just-laid eggs (Good Eggs: SF, NYC, New Orleans, LA). Many cities of all sizes offer similar, hyperlocal deliveries. For more routine needs, national chains like Safeway offer online shopping and grocery delivery services for a nominal extra fee. If you want to get extra fancy, however, take a look at Plated. This delivery service—currently delivering in select major cities, check here for availability—will send you all the fixins necessary to whip up gourmet meals in the privacy of your own home. And if you're lucky enough to be holed up in California (especially the northern half). Who knew being a recluse could be so delicious?
