SM – £8 a month sounds ok.

Kat – Hadn’t considered that, starting to see the benefits now

They do remind you when you have forgotten to buy chocolate – don’t know where I would be without them!

I use Ocado and pay a monthly delivery charge of £8 (I think) that means I can place orders as small as £40 and not pay any extra delivery.

I love waitrose but hate lugging loo rolls and nappies back on the buggy. This solves that problem for me.

Only thing I will say is watch out for use by dates (not on loo rolls) they have really improved on this mind. – Shows they listen, I suppose.

DD – £15 off sounds good

P Withe – Hi, totally agree about not taking the littlies shopping, it’s why I started shopping online in the first place. Do they charge for delivery?

um. i think what it means is that ocado has worked out a whizzy way to predict most of what you buy.

we did it last week and it got most of our shopping scarily right, but then we’ve been shopping with ocado for a year or so.

apparently, the instant shop/suggested order thing learns as it goes along, so it sort of calibrates itself, so the more you use it, the better it gets. or, so they say.

away from that, the service is usually faultless, and they now price match with tesco (and waitrose for fruit, veg, etc) so it’s pretty good value.

so, you don’t NEED it, but it saves us taking junior to the supermarket, and that’s worth a lot in itself.

The best thing about ocado is that they keep offering me £15 off vouchers and the food is waitrose – oh, and their vans are cheerful colours. Otherwise teskies is much cheaper …
