online supermarket shopping

If you are disabled/infirm it might be a good idea to use Ocado. They are the only ones who bring the shopping into the house for you. All the others have refused to do so, and just leave it on the doorstep for you to unpack it and carry in.

That's interesting about the bag charge, Synonymous. I might try that for our Waitrose delivery to the holiday cottage next week.

I also shop on line but I use it mainly for heavy items such as cat litter and I buy a lot of long life semi skimmed milk. £40 is the average minimum buy and if I am having problems making that amount (rare!) like others I make it up buying loo rolls.

I have done the rounds and I am with Morrisons again. Their goods are kept at a warehouse so they rarely run out. If I have a beef sometimes the use by dates are too short and I cannot eat the food specially if I buy eg 3 items for a tenner. My freezer is small so that is not a way out for me.

I do recommend it but as somebody said, your first shop takes ages until you are familiar with that system.

I have a weekly Ocado delivery. I couldn't go back to doing the whole shop myself, but I do like to leave a few odd items to pick up instore during the week. Gets me out of the house, and I can pick up the odd bunch of flowers.

I would miss shops if I didn't do that.

Online grocery shopping is awesome. We had the first ever Tesco delivery when they started out and apart from the Christmas week delivery never had any trouble.

I have also used Sainsbury's and Ocado. I love Ocado and as they price match to Tesco they would be my first choice. They also delivered well on Christmas week unlike Tesco who made the oddest substitutions EVER.

I think once you get used to it you'll love it.

I have used Asda and Tesco a couple of times when they first started online shopping and had a delivery from Ocado a couple of weeks ago. All have been very good and delivered on time. Ocado was especially good as the driver rang to say he was round the corner and could he deliver earlier but if it was a problem he would come at the allotted time and the savings were very good. Probably if/when the time comes we can no longer go to the supermarket we'll start to shop online (I buy nearly everything else online these days) but at the moment it's a trip out on a Friday afternoon which we quite enjoy plus we sometimes get to have tea out which is always a bonus

Love it. We don' t use it all that often. Really useful when you do self catering on holiday though.

No more tiring shopping trips for me! I wouldn't manage without my Tesco delivery which is always carried direct into my kitchen by nice people. They keep to within the time slot very well in my experience and the one time they were running late due to snow they rang me to let me know what was happening.

I always start my next shopping right after the last delivery comes and bob in and out on my 'pooter adding or changing what I want right up till late at night the day before delivery. There are spaces to make particular notes to the 'pickers' of what you really want as in 'ready to eat bananas' or 'mixed green and ripe' or 'salami sliced very thinly' etc.
The first shop will take you longer than you think until you get the hang of it but there are a lot of helps and if you are stuck you can ring the help line. I have a basic list which I keep on there and take what I want from that. When you have been doing it for a while you get reminders of things you regularly order and may have forgotten which is quite handy - even if a bit big-brotherish!
Check on the special offers boxes and also click on the 'rest of shelf' if you want to compare.

I always tick the box for delivery without bags and if things need a bag they will bag it anyway and without charge, otherwise you pay 40pence per delivery.

I am a delivery saver customer and I am supposed to get preferential treatment whatever that infers. I paid for my delivery saver charge with my reward coupons on the double up scheme so I even got a good bargain.

I think I have turned into a 'nerd' as GS would say!

I have recently converted to grocery shopping on line and I LOVE it! I use Sainsburys. You choose an hour long delivery slot and it can cost as little as £1. If you spend over £100 it is free delivery. If I am near that amount I top up on loo rolls, tea bags etc and get free delivery. I will happily not go back to going around the supermarkets again! If we do go it's for a few odd things only or to have a look around! The delivery drivers are lovely too! One even brings a biscuit for our dog!

I find I spend less by online shopping and bargains are to be had. If you are not fussy about your booked time slot a delivery can cost as little as £1. I have used Ocado, Tesco and Sainsbury's making use of their special introductory offers and they have all been very good. I tend now to use Tesco and deliveries have been straightforward. If you like the experience of shopping it may not be for you, but it is a no brainer for me. Good luck with your wheels x

I have used Tesco, Sainsbury, Asda and Waitrose. Waitrose was very good, as a new customer I had £30 off my first shop. Out of the others I prefer Sainsbury. They keep you informed on when they will arrive. My daughter uses Morrisons now and says they are good.

No problem choose your supermarket preference and go for it. I have shopped with Sainsbury, And wait rose. Works fine for me.
