I have a delivery every week so it’s worth it for me. Also gives advance access to the C****** slots.

I will be paying to renew my delivery pass. It is well worth it for me. The way I look at it that if someone offered me a fiver to trek to the supermarket, push a trolley round looking for all the things on their list, source substitutions where necessary, take it all through the checkout process and bring it home, I wouldn't be tempted.

I haven't tried the Delivery Pass scheme, but have been considering it - but even if I get a delivery every week it may not be worth it.
I use Tesco and the cheapest delivery is £2 for a £50 basket so I''m paying £104 a year - but if I take a fortnight holiday and a week off at Christmas, I'd just about break even with an £80 Pass.
Do you get to use a set time with a pass?

I think the convenience outweighs the price, there is travel to and from, sometimes in bad weather, and the time it all takes to physically shop, I also think you spend more in-store, buying things that you would not have noticed and probably don't need.

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.
