Our Tesco shop is due 3-5 this afternoon. We went to a big Tesco yesterday to familiarise ourselves with their products as we have just switched from our other supermarket and stuff certainly seems cheaper, plenty of items we would buy are up to a euro cheaper plus free delivery for us oldies seems to make it a wise switch.

I’ve found with Tesco in the last year that they don’t carry such a wide range to order from online, over here anyway.
I’ve had to have £12 refunded from my delivery today too because the use by dates on them was this weekend when they should’ve at the least had 5+ days left on them.

I go and do a deep shop a couple of times a week - no deliveries here.

I get what I want - no alternatives - then I come home. It's dead easy. I do not have to stay in for a 'sometime' delivery slot, some day, and all my stuff is in date. I call it 'freedom'.

Bliss.

We've had a lovely day :) First off to Cirencester, a beautiful little Cotswold town, all built in that lovely yellow stone. It's about 15 miles from here. We had a nice walk round the market, then a cuppa and a teacake, then just walked and enjoyed the sunshine. We came home via Cheltenham, the pretty route, for another wander - Mick really likes the big Waterstones there - then home. It was very relaxing, just the ticket :)

Hi Everyone, hope you really had a good day.

We have had a very busy day today. I was up at 4am yesterday to take the hire car to Stansted and fly back to France. Then I worked to near midnight. To be kicked out of the bed at 8am this morning because our lovely two German ladies staying with us on the Twinning visit were going home.

Mrs S had also booked a meal with 15 visitors for this evening. :shock: :shock: She is crazy and I told her so. I took the ladies shopping for stuff to take home as well as filling the "shopping list" which ran to two sides of paper. We had lunch with the twinning then dropped the ladies off at the bus, with a picnic Mrs S had made whilst I was shopping and came home. I spent an hour doing things for her then had to go to work. Back to help again and 6pm then back to work again. The house is heaving with guests eating wonderful food and I'm at my keyboard. :roll: :roll:

I'm angling for R&R tomorrow but I'm sure Mrs S will have other ideas....

Enjoy the evening.

I do a click and collect. While someone is doing my boring shopping, I do what I like, I turn up pick it up. They talk me through any substitutes, which I would have to substitute if I were shopping myself, they advise me on any short 'dates' and I load it in the car and off we go. Bliss

Yep Freedom and to my knowledge no supermarket does a 'sometime some day' delivery slot most are in one hour, some two

As the saying goes you do you..... :D
