How can I get groceries delivered to my house by tomorrow morning?

I live downtown Toronto and have a wicked fever, an empty pantry, and want to find a grocery store that will deliver some staples to my apartment--ideally by tomorrow morning.
I've checked Longo's, Front Door Organics, and Mr. Case. I'm not looking for a food box type of setup--just something last minute and for tomorrow. What do the elderly and infirm do.... there must be something?

I'm in Kitchener but some of the Shoppers around here will deliver .. pharmacy and anything else they sell at that store. So if you've got a 24hr shoppers you're in business. All the Shoppers around here have a small grocery section now.
Good luck and I hope you feel better.

In the US, Safeway does deliveries.
I can't tell from the website if that's true for their Canadian equivalent because I don't know what a Canadian postal code looks like, so I can't get past the first web page.

The Shoppers at 465 Yonge is open 24 hours and can be called at 416-408-4000. Just ask if they have groceries and if they deliver.

Response by poster: Weaslegirl, thank-you! Shoppers only delivers prescriptions at night, but will deliver other items after 8am. Hurray!
Thanks again.

I was seriously considering going over there with a pot of soup or something. Hope you feel better soon.
The tip that Shoppers delivers is true genius. I'm keeping that in mind next time I get beef-pork-soybean flu.

If none of this works out, offer a gig on craigslist. I'm sure some college kid will want to make 20 bucks to deliver you some groceries

Are you a regular at a corner store that stocks some staples? If you call them directly and offer a premium of, say, $10 to bring you something to get through tomorrow, would that work for you?
