My wife did a shop tonight online and checked it on MYSUPERMARKET which pricechecks the same items across Ocado/Tesco/Sainsbury/asda. The total price was as follows:

Ocado ?126

Tesco ?109

Asda ?108

Sainsbury ?100


I have always believed Ocado were significantly more expensive so it might be worth doing this check on your weekly shop and seeing if these results are borne out.

Its only some items that are tesco price checked - probably a merketing ploy as they know they are more expensive and want to divert criticism on price.

Having said that their product quality and customer service is second to none and some would think worth paying the extra for.

Thanks for that. I got all of them in the end. Actually not strictly true, some of them took it in the face.

I used the AK47 rather than the Uzi 9mm, I like to think I'm a sport.

Sorry about the barrell.

Just apropos of the price comparison - a 400g tin of organic (of course) plum toms is 75p in Sainsbury's and 62p from Ocado. And on top of that the ones from Sainsbury's are more watery. I spend less on the weekly shop now I use Ocado that when I shopped at Sainsbo.
Bless them, dear old sainsburys home delivery simply cancelled my order for tonight, too late to get another delivery slot. It's fishfingers and beans on stale Cream Crackers washed down with out-of-date Nesquick for us until we can get to to shops. Cool.

Joy of joys! The lovely Ocado men have just been to replenish my bare cupboards.


And they brought me a free paper (Times, natch) and a bottle of lovely wine to apologise for not coming last night.


The children can eat again - hurray!

They have a cheery crew of delivery people who are always well informed etc.

They always call my mobile to say when they are arriving

They never muck me around over delivery times

They hardly ever substitute

They stock stuff that I love and that other people don't have (e.g. Waitrose luxury lemon curd - the best!)

They never quibble about any - very rare - returns (twice in three years?)

They have always - since day one - been improving their service

And finally, I never have to *worry* about the delivery (and I have far too many other things too worry about). It's like wash n' go, but for food.


If I have to pay a few quid extra for that, I really don't mind. Paying five or ten quid less to get a whole bag of hassle and grief that will make me run around in circles for hours (I don't have the time!) is really not worth it. Sometimes a bargain is really not a bargain: it's another way of saying 'you do our work for us'.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
