Paying a contractor to have an employee drive to a grocery store, pickup $435 worth of groceries, drive them to you, unload them, then drive home would reasonably run $100. Many professional companies will charge that or more for 1-2 hours of employee time.

Just a heads up, General Contractor is a term for someone who oversees contract construction projects, e.g., remodeling your kitchen. They're licensed and insured (usually) professionals.
