I have a electric scooter that I use for shopping. It's pretty nice if you just want to buy enough to fill a big bag.

It is definitely more expensive (if you want something decent) than a e-bike but it occupies less space in the house.

One other thing to note though is you're more likely to get injured on an electric scooter vs a bike, because it's much harder to control braking in the event of an emergency.
Personally I use a combination of online delivery and going to the supermarket in person. When I need some stuff right now, I visit the store. When I’m bulk buying long life stuff, especially large and heavy things, delivery makes more sense and in my area costs only $2.
