Super Grocery Sites
While there aren't a multitude of online grocers yet, these were the best out of the one's we found.  Most deliver nation wide, but some only cater to specified regions of the country so make sure you're address is covered before you buy!!  
1. NetGrocer a nice store with a large selection.  Their prices are good, and they use Fedex to ensure prompt delivery of your groceries. Furthermore, NetGrocer is one of the online grocers who does deliver anywhere in the 48 contiguous states.  NetGrocer also runs specials that can be found on the coupons page.
3. Homegrocer After browsing through the pages of this site you might come across a recipe you like, but do you want to find all of the ingredients for it? NO!! Well you don't have too. If you like the recipe, simply click add "all recipe items to cart" and it automatically does it for you--no looking! You can also access everything you've ever purchased at the site to speed up your shopping--90 minute delivery windows are available too so you can be there when your groceries arrive. Unfortunately, this sites service is not widespread and you must type in your zipcode to discover if delivery is available in your area. 
4. Peapod  If you live in one of the following 9 major metropolitan areas then you're covered (Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Boston, San Francisco, Long Island, Columbus, and San Jose). If not, be patient because they are expanding. By far one of the best and most comprehensive online grocers on the web. They offer a couple of delivery options depending on how often you shop, express shopping (type in what you want to buy and it finds it for you), and personal shopping lists that you can access each time you shop. 

Other Notable Stores (Listed Alphabetically)
Kosher supermarkets Unsure if what your serving is kosher for your guests then shop here!! They have all the kosher foods you could imagine (which includes most products that you can find at your grocer like Cheerios). Additinally, if you have a concern, you can ask the Rabbi if a particular product is kosher. Delivery is reasonable (flat fee of $3.99 for basic service) and is available anywhere in the US--not bad!!
Wholefoods This site caters to the organic shopper. Strictly organic foods that you probably won't find at your regular grocer. The site is well organized and easy to navigate with little FYI segments throughout to enhance your shopping pleasure. Delivery is $4.99 for orders under $50 and free for orders over $50. Two day and next day are available at an extra expense.
