online food shopping
Discussion
I regularly use four of them (depending on what I'm ordering)... Sainsbury, Tesco, Asda and Ocado.
To be honest they are all pretty good. Ocado does stand out though - because usually the order is perfect, everything there, no substitutions. The others often have one or two items substituted, which can be annoying if the substitute is unsuitable for your needs.
The big plus for me with home delivery is not having to park at the supermarket, leaving my car at the mercy of people who don't give a toss about other people's cars...

Another vote for ocado. I love it, 10 mins on the app and my shopping is done. I add things to my basket as i run out of things so dont forget much. Around here they nearly always show up at the beginning of the 1 hour delivery slot.
I hate going to the supermarket for anything more than a few extra bits now.

I never thought of adding things as they got used up! Very organised. Driver phoned me this morning to ask if it was ok to rock up 20 minutes early - they really have got the customer experience nailed down. I hate going to the supermarket for anything more than a few extra bits now.

Do what I do... apart from my bulk shop online, I don't use the big supermarkets (or their local outlets like Tesco Express etc) for any regular extra stuff I need... I try and support the small local independent shops instead. calibrax said:

I do a little of that with my local butcher but there isn't much else local to me apart from tesco express. scottri said:

I've looked at it but never actually tried to shop on it - we tend to just do several small shops as and when we need to from wherever is convenient at the time but in the interest of planning meals and being a bit healthier (i.e. avoiding the "nothing in, can't be bothered to go out, let's order a takeaway) I'm keen to start online shops again.
When I did do them Waitrose direct were my preferred option, Ocado seem to have gone off a bit around here since they got bigger. Asda are by far the worst I've used (I do "secret" shopping now and again and one of the assignments was to online shop with Asda) but I've yet to sample the services of Morrisons or Sainsburys. It's so long since I tried Tesco that I can't recall anything about it.
