For the past year, we have had a weekly groceries delivery from Sainsburys, having paid £60 for a year’s Delivery Pass. This has now gone up to £80. I guess other supermarket’s pass charges will have increased too? Looks like Tesco is about £84, with £50 minimum spend. Wondering whether to continue, though it is so convenient.

I shop between 4 Supermarkets so have never paid for a delivery pass I always look for the cheapest delivery and never pay more than £1-2.00 using the saver option some times I will use the Click & Collect if I need shopping quickly.

I am very lucky with my Sainsbury's orders as my eldest DS is a night Manager and his partner is in charge of the team that processes the orders on line so I always get a good slot plus family discount which is a nice savings when I shop with Sainsburys

I pay Tesco’s delivery charge for the sheer convenience and priority at Christmas, but occasionally use Asda as they have some specific items we like, flexible on delivery times, so I use their cheapest.

I stopped home deliveries after Covid . I did do click and collect for a while. I don't know what the charges are now, but I suspect they are high,
I force myself to go shopping once a week, telling myself it's good for me in spite of the pain it causes my back and the breathlessness. I wish I would be more sensible and start home deliveries again grin

I useSainsbury’s every couple of weeks. I go for the saver slot which is for any time in a four hour band of which there are several to choose from. On the day of the delivery you are then notified of a one hour time slot. This means you initially have to be flexible for four hours but on the day it is only one hour.

You pay within £1-£3 usually depending on the 4 hour slot.
