Christian & I have achieved a new level in our marriage. Tonight, for the first time, we had our groceries delivered to our door. This is when life begins.
We often did our shopping at one of two stores. Either the Morrisons in Biggin Hill or Sainsburys in Locksbottom, which is on our way home from work. Unfortunately, sometime in February they removed our town Morrisons & replaced it with a Waitrose. For those familiar with this store, I feel your empathy. For those who are not, it is a very nice shop that is too expensive for weekly shopping.
We did give it a try. We've been there several times, after all, we both work for a living. But the choices were few & the prices, in some cases, four times what we paid at Sainsburys. Then when we were coming home one day we saw a Sainsburys truck delivering groceries next door. I ran over & the driver told me it was about £5 per delivery, more than worth it if it spares us the 45 minutes a week we dedicate to our shopping.
Then we thought, if Sainsburys delivers, perhaps Tesco does too. Tesco is very good with alot of variety & excellent prices, but way too far out to make it sensible for us to drive there. Luckily, they did deliver. We just had a full weeks shopping dropped off for a £3.99 delivery charge. I also did like for like online between Sainsburys & Tesco, & its cheaper for us to have our groceries delivered than to actually go into Sainsburys.
This is a great day.
