OK I know I'm bragging a bit, but I just have to tell you one of the best parts about living here in the UK!
Are you ready?
I'm telling you - those of you with kids or busy with your job or really hate Walmart are going to be jealous!
Are you ready?
GROCERY DELIVERY!
That's right! Each week we have groceries delivered right to our door! It's brilliant and amazing! For a small fee (especially when you choose a Tues. or Wed. night from 8-10 for delivery!) the grocery store (and this is almost ALL grocery stores from cheaper to more expensive( will deliver your groceries! For us, it's the same price as it would be for us to drive to the store!
How does it work? I pick my delivery slot (the cheapest one), then I pick my groceries online. They even save all of my old orders, so I can reorder things I use weekly! If there is something that they are out of, they bring me a replacement for the same price or cheaper - and they ask me if I want to keep it!
It's all paid for online and no tips! They bring in the bags (they'll even take my old bags to recycle!) and we're done!
What if I forget something? We do live within walking distance to a small grocery store that we can get most things - it just doesn't cater to a big, weekly grocery shop.
The best parts - no dragging two kids to the store, no impulsive buying (I can see my cost as I add things), no fighting other carts through aisles that are too small, no searching the shelves for the product I just can't find, did I mention not having to drag two kids to the store????
Ahhh it's amazing! I'm spoiled... But, I need to go - my delivery for the week is here ;-)
I love it! I am SO on board for grocery delivery.
ReplyDeleteSo Jen's telling me she can't find canned stuff...same issue for you? (Like for making Chicken Tortilla Soup)? She's in a co-op cooking situation, but all my recipes I sent her keep on flunking out for lack of ingredients! Advise?
How nice!!! That would be sooo helpful. I am glad that you all have that great perk of living in the U.K.! Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteReally trying NOT to be jealous, however, as one who does most shopping online it's hard not see it as the ONLY thing lacking. I love that you have it. I can see something like that being a HUGE help in a time of adjustment. What a blessing!
