I don't .
I go to the supermarkets 
But I am beginning to think delivery might be good.
Save us  buying things we don't need .

Used to do Asda but they let us down so when we moved we changed to Sainsbury who are quite good, and of course no impulse buying.

We have used Sainsbury's deliveries since lockdown, they've been very reliable, and have some great offers via Nectar card.  I still shop for fresh stuff, but get all the heavy, boring stuff delivered. 
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

Yes I sometimes get home deliveries..
I use Tesco or Ocado... I do prefer to shop though.. I like to check dates and freshness...
 I quite like going to the shop.. I just enjoy seeing and talking to people .. and watching..
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

I began having home deliveries when we were 'locked down' during the covid epidemic, and found it very convenient, especially for heavy things - cat food/litter, cleaning products, tinned stuff etc.,  I stock up once per month, and book an early morning delivery - 6:00am in summer, 7:30am in winter.  Sainsbury's are very reliable, their delivery staff are helpful, and their produce good quality.  I bulk buy fresh fruit/veg to blanch, freeze, and make my own 'ready' meals - I love to cook.

The only things I never buy from supermarkets are meat, poultry, fish, and cheese.

Like others,  I started having deliveries during lockdown too.

I did try Tesco for a short while, but didn't get on with them.  When I cancelled,  they still kept taking a delivery charge for weeks and weeks,  even though I wasn't ordering,  and I had a helluva job making them cancel it.
After many phone calls and arguments,  I contacted my bank,  and Tesco eventually stopped taking the money and sent me a voucher to spend as an apology.

I have used Ocado for ages now, and find them very good and helpful, both on the phone,  and the delivery drivers too. 
Two of the things I like about Ocado are,  they bring my stuff bagged up in carrier bags  (unlike most others),  and  I can also get M&S  food delivered through them as well.
If you save the carrier bags,  you can hand them back for recycling  the next week.  The driver takes them back and you get paid 10p  per bag knocked off  your bill.   

I still nip out for odds and ends,  but its handy having the bulk and heavier stuff delivered now. 
My little treat to me.  :smiley:

So who does Ocado deceiver for apart from M and S ?
