Grocery Delivery
Does anyone in the UK do this, what's your experience been like? Do you have a store you recommend? Do you have any money saving tips for this?
Re: Grocery Delivery
I've used Ocado for the past 6 years and probably always will! I only know it's been that long b/c they just sent me a free bottle of wine which they do on your yearly anniversary.
I love them b/c their system does a stock check to make sure your item is in stock before you check out and they let you know how long each item should last- this helps with things like bread that go off quickly and I'll often choose the only which will last the longest.
They recently started price matching Tesco so a lot of items will say if they cost the same.
If you want to shop with them PM me your email b/c if I recommend someone from inside the system they will send you a voucher to use.
We've also been using Ocado for the past two years - although we've never gotten a free bottle of wine, so not sure what's up with that??! Overall, we've been happy with them.

you need to let them know! It's normally a code they email you and then you add it as a voucher and the wine shows up. Everyone needs free wine.
Bio
I get a weekly delivery of veg and milk from Abel and Cole. Highly recommend them.
I have used both Asda and Tesco's. I personally prefer Tesco's after Asda messed up a few too many times for my liking, but I always go through My Supermarket as they compare prices so you can see who is giving you the best deal and their website is easy. Also don't forget to use Topcashback (there is a referal link on that link, in case you join) or Quidco to get money back. Tesco's and Waitrose/Ocado always have voucher codes around to use to get money off your first shop.
I have Sainsbury's deliver most of the time, and I've been extremely happy with them. The quality of their produce is much better than in the stores, which makes me happy. We've also saved quite a lot of money by having groceries delivered--both by taking advantage of the deals and by eating at home more often.
I've been toying with Ocado, as I have a ?15 off my first shop voucher, but you have to spend ?75 with them and only ?40 with Sainsbury's, so I'll have to shop strategically with Ocado.
Previously, like a couple of others, I had a delivery from Abel and Cole, and I really enjoyed that.

I believe ?75 is the minimum in order to get the cheapest delivery price, but the minimum to just place an order is ?40 with Ocado as well.

The delivery cost for Sainsbury's mid-week is ?3.50 for a ?40 order. The same one with Ocado is ?6.50. Yeah, it's only ?3, but it's been enough of a psychological barrier to prevent me from trying Ocado...so far.
