Yes, I just shopped online again today, $218  but my pantry is so full.

Last week I got 2 meat pies family size, and 2 kilos of Chrizo sausages for free.
1/2 kilo of extra ham.
Extra bananas, and 1 kilo extra apples.  free delivery, and delivered to my place at 7.30pm, upstairs and into my kitchen..

 :) saves me nearly 2 hours a week, plus fuel

I tried ww online a year or two ago.  It was ok, didn't love it.  Wouldn't recommend for fruit and veg. I think it took a while to order on line as well.  Prefer to go to the shops and buy what's looking good.

I spent $95 at the supermarket yesterday, but I still need to go to the market. So far, so good....

well for me it works, as its a 25 minute drive to get to the supermarket, each way.

 then to do the shopping, get through the checkout, load into car, unload at home, and carry  up stairs.


saves me 2 hours a week.. ;D

You may have a better deal than I have here.   I loved it for non perishable items.  And agree does save time.  I felt the fruit and veg were not great though.  Also, I am an opportunistic shopper.  By that I mean I tend to plan my week around what's good value, in season, looks good and is well priced.  I am not well enough organized to make a full weeks order on line for this reason.  I get my haul home and then make my weeks decisions based on what I have.  Makes for some......um..... Interesting meals ... LOL!

I often have thought about doing online grocery shopping - it would have to be easier than taking the girls, but I have never actually done it. Don't know why.  ???  One day a week it is free delivery regardless of purchase total, so I might have to give it a go... :)

I really like online food shopping and as the shops are getting busier much less stress and having it brought in to your kitchen bench is great, if only they put it away;D
