Online shopping

cj · Post by cj » Wed Oct 17, 2007 5:58 pm

This is a hugely dull and mundane question but if anyone has an opinion, I'd be interested to hear.

Does anyone use online shopping facilities provided by supermarkets (or other organisations) for their weekly food shop? If so, which can you recommend?

I'm fed up with trailing around a supermarket, stubbing my feet on the trolley and buying a load of stuff I don't need because I don't have the use of the car during the day and panic buy when I do go. I can't do a Nigella and hop in a taxi to the local Italian deli to stock up on champagne and truffles for dinner (which seems like the best option if you can - she's so lush, isn't she). Thank you.

I don't 'cos I always go to the 'reduced shelf and I enjoy supermarket shopping, the only time I get to myself.

However I have a friend who has used them all and she reckons Ocado is the best. Has 'Which' ever checked them out?

Which? has done a consumer survey but it's only accessible on the net for a cost (and I'm too tight to pay!). Ocado is the Waitrose one and by all accounts is very good if a little more costly - father-in-law has them and is very pleased with the service. They don't do our area.

My daughter doesn't have a car, and lives in the centre of Liverpool. She uses Tesco's online service, and says that prices are perhaps a little higher than in store, but that quality is consistent and there are even special offers and money-off vouchers available.

We have tried Ocado a couple of times (the gloating i do as i stand on my doorstep with the Ocado van outside having my nice Waitrose food delivered). And have nothing but praise for it, they come when they say they say they will, the food is the same price as in the shop, they go through your shopping with you to check it!

I havent tried the others

Amy, is everything ok? What's with the punctuation and the capital letters?

Just a touch of something I suspect, she has referred to herself in lower case.
