Online grocery delivery

[labratmat]

I just went online and checked and found all grocery deliveries booked out till xmas from tomorrow night.

I managed to get one of the last bookings and ordered as much as I could, but everyone is limited to 95 items.

How annoying this covid all is with everyone going online! This shopping lark is the only difference to my life from these lockdown times.

I got half a leg of lamb for xmas dinner, but I will definitely need another shop before xmas to last out. I may have to leave my house for a change.

Just a reminder to get your online grocery delivery sorted as this year more than ever it will be difficult to get a slot.

Do click and collect (I don’t know what it’s called there.) Basically they prebag the groceries, and you go to the place and pick it up in the parking lot.

That is pretty much booked out too, I’m afraid.

Plus I have no driving licence or car…

You must live in a food desert.

I’m sorry, don’t know what to tell ya.

Just eat staples and a multivitamin, I guess. Or brave the crowds and get some produce.

Edit: I don’t mean literal staples, I mean like potatoes and bread and such. Preferably potatoes (bread is horrible for SZ people.)

I have been shopping in Aldi, and I have found if you pick your time well, there is not many people there.

Are you vulnerable to the Covid? If so, can you not get someone to do your shopping for you to help out?

I’ll survive.

I have enough shopping for a a few weeks. Stocking up on staples for now.

Maybe they will have some cancellations. I do grocery delivery too as I don’t have a car or anyone to take me.

You could try ordering on instacart it’s sort of like uber for groceries

You tell the app what you want from the store and then someone shops for it and delivers it to you

I’m in the UK. I don’t think we have that yet, but thanks.
