Did it a lot in UK
Tescos etc, but had 3 kids and 3 jobs
I also tried Woolies and P snd P.
I found that unless you were tied to home with children and busy with a job, it was actually less convenient than going yourself.
Quulity was variable and substitutions bizarre!

Uk got it right eventually but it took forever!
Would still want to see what I was buying

However, one is less likely to ‘graze’ the aisles and so money usually saved!

I live in the middle of nowhere. I would LOVE to be able to grocery shop online even with all the downsides!

Thanks for your comment Sue – I agree with you on all points – there is no point in putting discounted nappy prices on the website if they are never available and they substitute the premium ones (at twice the price). I do find that I save money if I shop with a list, and STICK to it, online.

Good post, I think about those things when I grocery shop online, but I also only ever grocery shop online when I get offered a 15% discount.
