Re: on line grocery shopping
 

I should imagine once you get used to it and know what to order it is a lot less hassle but it would take me forever to decide what to order. Feel like I've been round Asda about three times now!!

Re: on line grocery shopping
 

I think most of them do that. Sainsburys site has a "Your Usuals" bit, then you can choose usuals by list or by aisle. It gives you what you've bought for about the last 5 times and you can order what's on it, leave out what you don't want and/or add to it. I would imagine they all have similar sites because of the competition.

Re: on line grocery shopping
 

I always use online. I started using them just at Christmas and did that a couple of times because I hate that last minute Christmas rush when the shops are busy and you need cranberry sauce :D

Then Asda did all that messing around with the car park and instore that I started using them every week or so. Now I use it every other week and go to the Co-op for bread and a few fresh things every other week.

In fact, just reminded me so I might go to Asda now for delivery on Friday.

Take your time - you can shop at 3am in the morning :rolleyes:
(and never get sore feet doing it)

Re: on line grocery shopping
 

Good idea, do you order and allow a couple of days for delivery?:confused:

Re: on line grocery shopping
 

Sometimes slots are available for the next day
You can look at slot times and book one
and you can still back out of all of it by not checking out
As long as you dont enter card details there is no order

PS you can even cancel or amend an order the day before delivery is due

Re: on line grocery shopping
 

This is all really good to know. Thanks for the help:D

Re: on line grocery shopping
 

Just done my shopping and used one of the e-voucher numbers for free delivery. Thank you for that - you've just saved me £4.75. Karma on its way.

Re: on line grocery shopping
 

I found vouchers in July due to a thread by mrjdallen - must give him the credit (gave him karma)

Re: on line grocery shopping
 

Just done my first online shop at Tesco and got a tenner off it using those codes ! Karma sent and many thanks JD , as they say, every little helps ! :)

Re: on line grocery shopping
 

I have just placed a Tesco order for groceries to the value of £72.53
plus delivery charge of £ 3.99 (cheaper mid week rate)
total £76.52
BUT I have used a voucher code worth £10, so I have saved £6.01 on the cost of the groceries.
net total £66.52
I have used a cashback credit card which is giving me a 4% refund, so that is another £2.66 saved
I also get Tesco clubcard points which will mean a future discount.

All of you who still stuggle to the store,
get uptight about the poor carparking facilities,
get impatient at checkout queues,
use petrol or bus fares to shop,
waste your time and energy lugging it all home
are throwing your money away
You will not find any supermarket checkout person who says-
"have a £8.67 cash refund please"

I shop for one person every 2 or 3 weeks - bigger shoppers will make bigger savings
You need to have an organised fridge, freezer and storecupboard.
Get organised and beat the big supermarkets at their own game

Re: on line grocery shopping
 

Those discount vouchers from the online voucher sites are getting scarce. I haven't found any (that were accepted) within the last month.
In order to get free delivery, I have two options, both need an order of £100 to qualify -
Asda - using an Asda credit card
Sainsburys - mid week delivery

I have just had a Sainsburys order delivered free
AND ......because he was 15mins late for the 1 hour time slot
he gave me a £10 voucher towards my next order

I am a very happy bunny:D

Re: on line grocery shopping
 

I have resurrected this thread after nearly a year because I want to tell that it is possible to get top notch food from Ocado(Waitrose) for a £1.99 delivery charge.(for orders over £70 on certain times on certain days)

I stopped using Asda many months ago following two disastrous deliveries -
I was sent a putrid rotting organic chicken with one day left on the 'sell by'
I got a refund and the next delivery free, but that delivery had 12 items missing.
Because it was not still on the van, I had a long laborious phone call with the store manager in which I had to minutely detail every missing item, and had to wait for a very late evening delivery of them. He also promised a £10 voucher would be credited to my account - it never was.
I cancelled my Asda card and 'washed my hands' of them

I now eat mainly organic stuff - it tastes better - so I am alternating between Sainsburys and Ocado(Waitrose)
Asda organics range is abysmal by comparison, and Tescos only a little better.
I shop fortnightly and have a large fridge/freezer.

I have been pleasantly surprised by Ocado - their stuff costs not much more but the food and delivery system are tons better than the others. You can see how little more it costs when using MySupermarket.com, and bear in mind that Ocado stock gormet food that others don't.

When I have wandered back to Sainsburys for cat food and non perishables, they have noticed my abscence and mailed me a voucher for 10% off !

Today I have had a delivery of organic stuff which had an original price tag of £99.74+ £1.99 delivery, which was actually reduced to £84.76 by a 10% discount and special offers.

...and I am eating like a lord (eg organic venison pate with port)- yummy:D

Re: on line grocery shopping
 

It looks like Waitrose(Ocado) are making serious attempts to increase their customer base
Forget Tesco and Asda, top price cutter is...Waitrose | Mail Online

Re: on line grocery shopping
 

Ocado (Waitrose) have really excelled this week.
I got an email voucher for 15% off.- with a delivery deadline for today
I had a delivery only last week, and since a fortnightly shop is my norm, I wasn't in dire need of anything, but that was an offer to good to miss so I have stocked up on wines and spirits - they are bound to increase in price at the budget.
