You can tell you haven't done the shopping in your house for a while then

Go online set up an account with your favourite supermarket select all your usual stuff (Sizes quantity etc) save it as your shopping list.

Set the delivery time for when SWMBO is out but you are home and hey presto it's delivered you say to SWMBO "While you were out I did the shopping" instant brownie points

:wink: :wink: :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:


£5 delivery on a £50 order, stores 5 miles from us

thats taking the pee when the van has 10 drops on it....


The £5.00 also covers the time taken to actually select the shopping items and packing them.

ive watched the pickers in-store

they have 4 orders at a time to pick (lets not forget they make a profit per item also*), oh, and the vans are now double ,manned to comply with H&S

oddly neither Tesco, asda, Sainsbury or waitrose yet do free delivery


*enough to give 5p/ltr off thier crappy diesel if i spend over £50
