What is your holding order?

Mine is just two bottles of milk (Tesco lets you check out with as little as you like)

I also shop for my mum, but from a different supermarket which has the £40 minimum checkout spend, so I always stick two bottles of whisky in her trolley, or three if it is on offer and two bottles are not enough to make up the necessary £40!
So far, I have always remembered to remove them when I do the proper order, but one day ...

Mum took some convincing that there is no real person taking this order at the other end of the computer, and was very worried about what they would make of her excessive whisky orders

8 bottles of Pinot Grigio. Cancel them later and add real order

Two boxes of Pinot Grigio. Bread, milk, cheese.

I've never heard of holding orders. You live and learn....

Milk and yogurt - only if I remember to book a slot in advance.

I once put the whole of a previous week's order in a Friday slot then forgot and booked a Saturday slot from another supermarket.

A bottle of malt whisky ? for DH. Not that I buy one every week but if I were to forget to update at least he would be a happy chap.

Same for me!

Did once forget an order - when slots were difficult to get - as it was on a Saturday and I always have Thursday delivery. I had put some things on but it was a strange combo.

2 litres of semi-skimmed milk. You don't need a minimum order to "hold" the booking.

This seems to be a Sainsburys problem though- id put through an order at weekend, then on wednesday night i added some things but took some out- said it had gone through and it wasnt at cut off time- come thursday i got a couple of stuff i had definitly removed and a couple i think maybe were gone! Im going to ring them when i get a chance over it!?

You do with Sainsbury's. The minimum is £40 at the time of booking but you can add and subtract stuff until 11pm the night before delivery. Though you must check out again or the inevitable happens!

My son’s friend though he was ordering 24 chicken legs but it was 24 x 2kg bags! It was the early days of online grocery shopping.

There are a lot of budding alcoholics on GN and I put my hand up also.

Definitely champagne, any bottle costing £40 or more, which is Morrison's limit, then check out. Only takes a minute, then I go back 48 hours before delivery and do the actual order when I know what I need.

A bottle of Bubbly. Then delete later in the week and put in the essentials. The daftest thing was a catering seized bag of sugar and 5 pots of basil. Lat week forgot the milk!!!

I should say if I remember I do take the wine out - well that's my story and I am sticking to it!!!

I once got 24 swiss rolls, and another time narrowly escaped getting 99 bunches of bananas!

I’m another with an alcoholic answer:
3 bottles of Pimms ?
It wouldn’t be a hardship if that was all that arrived one day ?

My daughter had expensive bottles of champagne holding her Morrison’s order and forgot to change it in time!! Our local Morrison’s rang her because it was a very unlikely order from her (usually nappies, baby wipes, fresh veg etc!) She explained what had happened and they very kindly cancelled the order and she managed to get a slot for the next day!! Excellent customer service ?

Fruit and milk. Almost an automatic reflex, save the week when I held my finger on bananas for too long and didn’t notice......."...you can never freeze too much banana bread!

Ricard and whisky in alternate weeks. Sometimes they're cancelled...

Gin is mine - have had a few mistakes over the years but usually veg that I haven't realised were a pack and not a single item meaning a freezer full of soup or chopped veg! Doodledog I do the same as you. Also do my Mum's and often have to add things to get it up to the delivery minimum. Might try the Coop as they don't have a limit that I can see.

I just "tip in" my last order.
