Ding Dong - Home Delivery

I've never thought of having my groceries delivered, but I only have 1 son. I may feel differently if I had 3 of them in tow. I heard that it costs extra to have it delivered and that can get kind of expensive. It seems like they could have the courtesy to make sure your produce looked nice and was fresh. I guess you can't win every time.

That's so cool. I've never had a grocery delivery before, however I've ordered some things online and it did come and I was so happy.

I think that home delivery is great - but I've never tried it! LOL. I have ordered stuff for my aunt and she was happy with everything and my neighbour does her weekly shop online always. She is very happy, but says that there is always a substitute item or two. Personally I like to get into the shop and feel the goods. Also, I try to shop at a cross section of shops and supermarkets. Currently I am addicted to Lidl and Aldi. I can get veg for 29p at one or the other each week. Fantastic! I get free range eggs for £1.60a dozen direct from the farm and I try to buy meat from the producer too. That said, Lidl sell Free Range chickens for under £4 each! I have no idea how they do it but I happily buy it. But I bet the poor farmer is pared to the bone.

Hi Humbug, online shopping delivered to your door, whatever next It was 4 years ago when I had to have an operation and knew I wouldn't be able to drive for 5 weeks afterwards and certainly not walk in the August heat that I asked the local supermarket if they would deliver for me until I would be mobile again as they do deliver to the local tavernas and restuarants. So all I did was phone down my order and they delivered it free and Gregoris brought it right up the huge flight of outdoor steps and put it in the kitchen for me. The only drawback was having my shopping sometimes delivered at midnight. I'd do it again if I needed to but prefer to shop outside the village normally as it is so much cheaper.

That is what I am afraid of having your good delivered to you. First , you were not able to check them yourself, and see if it is spoil or not. I think it is best that you see the item personally before you can have them in your home. I hope that you were still able to replace those items.

Grocery deliveries are a godsend! Me and my boyfriend both have fulltime jobs so don't have a lot of free time. On top of that neither of us drive so shopping can be a chore, especially carrying heavy bags up the steep hill to home! Home delivery makes everything so easy. I fill in all the things i can think of, then my other half adds things he would like. It also means we can shop at a astore which is out of town and we would otherwise be unable to get to. It's a bit annoying when they are out of stock of things you want but the replacements are usually fine. And I haven't had any trouble with mouldy or damaged items. It also saves money as when I shop in the supermarket i get tempted by extra things, which doesn't happen online. It also gives you more time to look at all the special offers and get the best deal.

I am the home delivery boy, er lad, er man even as I do the shopping for mum and I do it for our neighbour too, she is 90 bless her so I happily get her shopping for her, I go twice a week to good old Sainsburys, after the gym, Wednesdays and Saturdays. I love grocery shopping at 8pm on a Saturday, the shop is virtually empty and the cashiers are waiting for me whoooohoooo! Sorry I digress we have never had home delivery as there's always been me and my father with cars to go out and do it. I think it is a good idea especially if you are busy and have a heavy schedule or have children or for the infrail. But I would always worry that they are not picking out the best like I would. I am fussy about my fruit and veg and I spend time picking out the best, naturally! But I suppose what you lose in bad fruit or spoilt goods you make up for in saving petrol and time and stress if you've got anklebiters with you whilst you shop ;0)

I have never had my groceries delivered, and i'm not sure they even offer that service where i live, but its possible, i've never looked into it! I certainly can understand why you wouldnt want to take 3 kids to the grocery store!! mom can i have this mom can i have that mom i need this can we have this ? OOOoooOooo!

If I were home during the day I would do it if I could afford the delivery charge. I like going shopping though and the kids are old enough that I can leave them at home if I want to.

I had rather go & pick out what i want. i can understand u not wanting to go w/3 kids. i wouldn't either, lol. I really don't know if there is anywhere here that delivers groceries or not. Might be a good thing to find out tho. U never know when u might need that service. Happy shopping.

Nope never shopped for grocery online, I usually just go to the store and shop I dont know theres just something about shopping for food online, lol though maybe I might try it someday.

Will answer later. Just got back from wonderful vacation and have to leave work now. Glad to see you and we will catch up soon. Blessings

The only time that I had my groceries delivered was once when we went on vacation and didn't have access to a car. It was pretty painless. We also placed the order online and got everything we wanted without any major issues. The thing I didn't like is being able to shop for sale items(as we were out of town and didn't have access to the sales paper). I completely understand though, not wanting to cart your 3 kids through the grocery store. Sometimes kids can make the simplest task a big chore.
