1. Only ever buy the "essentials" in the Supermarket.
2. Use a local green grocers
3. Use a local butchers
4. Everything else, Internet, then you don't have to deal with crowds and stroppy staff.

Before that happens we might actually start getting decent prices and customer service.

Are you ********* me.

Sorry to say this but I Never shop on the Internet, I browse on the web & get a good deal to take to a shop to haggle or I pre order & go & pick it up. Even with OcUK I go & pick it up myself, **** buying stuff with out seeing it & **** putting my goods in the hands of some no good courier to play footy with until he decides it's time for me to have my item/items.

I prefer to do it the other way around....
Take a look at something in a shop, then buy it online for cheaper.
Most major shops won't match online prices... infact some even offer cheaper prices in their online stores, yet won't match them in the retail stores!

I must have bought countless things online over the years and have never once had anything damaged by a courier.

Reach to the Back of the Shelves you Lazy gits
All stock is Constantly rotated so that the old is at the front & the new at the back. Reaching to the back can get you meat/food that will last a week rather than a day.

I do this

I always grab the stuff at the back as i work Part Time in the Coop along with working as an Apprentice Engineer so i need my bargains and my long lasting food on my short wage

All the tips you stated are what id say
