Online Food Shopping......

[Smowball]

Was talking to another ABer earlier about shopping, and I was saying that I’ve had a weekly online delivery from Tesco for years, but getting so hard to get a slot these days. Then I discovered that Co-op do a same day delivery. Not for a massive shop as it’s all delivered on motorbikes/ mopeds, but at least a couple of carrier bags worth. and for only £1.99. Placed order at 3pm the other day - was all in my fridge by 7pm. Great for an emergency definitely. Especially since I still can’t drive quite yet. Who do you all use?

Sainsbury's - never any problem getting a slot.

[Rosie29]

Yes - brilliant service from the Co op.

[Rosie29]

I use Tesco as well. I find both very good.

[Smowball]

Think I’m so used to booking slot for a couple of days time, and now can’t get anything within a week. Not here anyway.

tesco, sometimes sainsburys

Ocado now they do Marks food, I can also use Tesco, Waitrose or Sainsburys, tried Iceland but wasn't impressed.

Asda, I got an email from them when I was put on the government vulnerable list offering me a recurring weekly slot which has been a massive help while I've been shielding, especially as I live alone. Was impossible to get a slot otherwise. I thankfully kept it going, just in case.

I've been tempted to try one of the other delivery options like that, to see if I can get some fresher bits between shops. Harder to plan with weekly deliveries and only a tiny freezer, not knowing what dates you'll get on things. I really miss things like crusty bread too, that you can't get on home delivery from Asda.

I didn't usually shop with them before Covid, usually much smaller and convenient city centre stores. I can't do bigger supermarkets mobility wise so it's actually good to have access to a much wider range of things than usual.

I've used Tesco for years, have an anytime plan that costs £7 a month.

I've used all of them I think, but I prefer Ocado- at least I did until they paired with M&S and now the quality has plummeted. Sainsburys are good for slots as they only release them one or two days in advance.

Oh that’s interesting re same day co op

[Smowball]

Eve - yes I literally discovered it about 10 days ago. If you place order in morning you’ll get it even earlier. They’ve been brilliant x

[Arksided]

Tesco, they've always being reliable. a monthly shop and although they're are all polite I'm still waiting for Lily James to knock on my door.

[ummmm]

Tesco and Morrisons on Amazon :-)

[Smowball]

Lol

[pastafreak]

Good to know about co-op. I just registered with Ocado...but they don't deliver here yet. Boo hoo...

[pastafreak]

Oh...and so far I've used Sainsbury's the most...Tesco once, and Iceland a couple of times. But they are quite limited in what they have ...I can't find enough to spend £35 on.

[Smowball]

Interesting how they all differ

[tiggerblue10]

I use Tesco and on the odd occasion Ocado. I signed up with Asda during the first lockdown as Tesco slots were not available. Only used them once.

[smurfchops]

I use Tesco once a week, I get a priority slot, but it s quite expensive, has gone up from £2.50 to £4.50 delivery. Not doing any special offers on delivery at the moment. All polite drivers, and will always give a refund if shopping not right, not ripe, etc.

Apparently my daughter's local Co-op in the area where they've just moved will deliver within 30 minutes! Ideal if you run out of beer.
