Well my WW on line arrived. No freebies  here >:( in fact 1 item missing from my order. I rung ww & they are refunding the amount. It was a whole frozen 5.6kg turkey, dont know how they forgot  that one. :o

It was great for non food items & I also bught the bulla choc ice creams for the party & some things to put away for christmas. I will use this service occasionally mainly for non food items.

Aussie farmers is def the way to go for fruit & veg.

Will have to work out how much i have spent from the budget.

Have to agree with you about WW online.  They well and truly messed up my last order - got have of someone elses and not all of mine ??? ??? Unfortunately, had to be out when it was delivered so couldn't check it as soon as it arrived.  Having said that, on the odd occasion I can't get to the shopping centre, it's good to have that option.  I've online shopped with C, too . . . no problems there so far . . .

We like Aussie Farmers, too . . . . :D

So is the preference for online shopping Coles or Woolworths?  I may have to go down that track at times myself.

Judy - it's a bit like the little girl with the curl . .  . when they're good, they're very very good . . .but . . . . . ;D ;D  My first few experiences with WW were excellent and also with C . . . but the last effort with WW just left me gobsmacked as to how they could get it so wrong.  WW did deliver what was missing the next day but we ended up with this other order as well.  When I rang WW they said, "Keep it, toss it or give it away - we can't take back perishable items"  :-)) ???

Judy, I've sometimes used Banana Blue. They get their groceries from Foodland. I haven't used them for a while, but I was happy with the quality of their produce

As long as they didn't charge you twice, you won out there Gay  ;)  

I haven't heard of Banana Blue for a long time Sue, but the name is familiar - might check them out too.  Guess they use the nearest Foodland to your place - mine is just around the road a bit.

Judy, i think on line is great for heavy items. Shold  have done this earlier with my shoulder pain. Also like it for frozen items as they are in the freezers in the truck & straight into my freezer :)

Havent tried C.

Was rather surprised how they could miss a 5.6kg turkey, its not like its a small item. Delivery was on time, as long as they refund the money I am happy. You wouldnt want the turkey delivered christmas eve & it didnt turn up :o

You're right there Hally, such an important item to leave behind.  It should be like the personal shopping, if they mess up you get it for free  :D

Just added up my shopping. I spent $150 this week. Now that I have eaten a lot of meat out of the freezer, I am having to buy a little every week. I may have to increase my budget to $150 as that is what I have spent the last two weeks. It will still be less than I used to spend:)
