Supermarket Home Delivery Shopping.

If you're using Tesco save the points and use them to pay for the delivery saver to get 50% off. Last year I paid £18 for the entire year of Tues-Wed deliveries.
 
I use Sainsbury's online for each weekly shop.

With a yearly delivery pass, which are often discounted, it works out perhaps £1.00-1.50 per delivery. I find shopping online works out cheaper, as I don't buy on impulse as much and avoid going shopping whilst hungry, which often led to impulse purchases. Having past purchases saved as 'favourites' makes each shop quick to complete.

Sainsbury's have been faultless really; probably around 100+ deliveries and nearly all have turned up on time or early. I've only had perhaps one or two late deliveries, and maybe the same again where drivers have inadvertently left items on the van - and always returning asap.

The main negative is that you are given certain fresh items which may have a shorter shelf life than those you would pick up yourself.
 
Don't remember the last time I went to the supermarket to do a proper shop. Favourites are all set up so ordering doesn't take long and with the year delivery pass it works out around £1 a time.

2 adults and 2 kids though so we get through a lot in a week !
 
I've been using Ocado for 4 or 5 years now.

I've sampled the delights of Asda, Tesco and Sainsburys but Ocado trumps them in numerous areas including quality of food, overall customer service, details on the receipt etc.

Its the same price.
And with easy viewing of offers and comping price per, it's must easier to buy accordingly.

You don't want to know how long frozen and chilled deliveries to the store sit out on pallets and cages for. Sometimes enough to put you off buying frozen meat that's for sure. ;)

This doesn't happen, or at least not regularly. There are multiple items that are easy to tell if they have been refrozen. And never had any that have.
 
Within a 1 mile radius i have all the major supermarkets by my door so no.

I could hit Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s, Tesco, ASDA, Aldi, Lidi co-op and even M&S food if I choose so there’s very little incentive to buy online and most of them closes at 10pm with Tesco and ASDA 24hrs.

Works out cheaper too as you can pick up some cheap stuff on closing.

It's not the picker him/herself who chooses the subs, the "computer" does it. They just pick what it tells them to pick on their hand held terminals.



Not all stores run a home delivery operation, especially smaller stores so your home delivery could be coming from a branch further away from your local store.

Not the case when i worked for sainsburys, you substitute an item for anything you deemed worthy hehehe.

I use Tesco’s quite often but only for what I describe as standardised items. I never buy meat, fish, fruit and veg online as I like to look and choose that stuff myself. Also, I have found dates a problem online. Regularly had stuff turn up that was for dinner a few days later, but the dates been the next day. Also, never got over the fact that one worker thought a packet of custard creams was a decent substitute for a carton of Birds custard.

I ordered a squeegee once as part of a shop. They gave me a shower hose instead. :o

That's something you actually do miss when shopping online. If you go at the right times, some steals can be had in store. Only this weekend I got some Sainsbury posh burgers, usually something like 4.99 for 2 (!), something I'd never buy, but they were reduced to 1.30. They were bloody lovely as well.
