Online grocery shopping - Edinburgh

Options
Can any Edinburgh money savers recommend an online grocery shopping service (i.e. delivery to your door, such as Tesco/Asda/Sainsburys)? I've not tried it before and was just wondering who comes up trumps? Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi

    I have used Asda, Tesco and Waitrose and I am very happy with them. I will use anybody that gives me a discount voucber.

    We live in a flat and grocery shopping is one big chore for me so I do tend to use them quite often

    mysupermarket.com and use whoever's cheapest.

  • Waitrose has free delivery at the moment and often have £10 or £15 off vouchers for new customers. If you register and don't use them for ages you often get a voucher by email.

    I've used Sainsburys in the past and now use Waitrose, nothing wrong with Sainsburys service, just prefer Waitrose.

    I've used Tesco and been happy with them. My Daughter uses Asda and is happy with them too.

  • Waitrose Deliver (in Edinburgh this will be from Comely Bank and Morningside) now do free delivery on all orders.

    See this thread for discount vouchers - new customers can get £30 (in total) off their first 3 orders: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=21045937&postcount=126
    If you spend £50 on each order it works out at 10% off your first order (£5), 20% off your second order (£10) and 30% (£15) off your third order. Plus you can take advantage of special offers etc to make your saving even higher.

    In Edinburgh I have used Tesco, Sainsburys and Waitrose and Waitrose are by far the best. Sainsburys messed up one of my orders on Xmas eve the year before last (lots of items were charged for but not delivered as they accidentally delivered them to someone else instead!) so I am reluctant to use them again and Tesco I no longer shop at on principle. I don't use Waitrose for fruit and veg, red meat or fish though as they are either too expensive and/or the local veg box scheme, fishmonger and butcher are much higher quality and cheaper! Apart from the occassional bargain at Waitrose eg their normal (not on offer) price of purple sprouting broccolli was (is) £1.29 for a large bag which was less than half the price of Sainsburys and Tesco per kg even though the Sainsburys and Tesco ones were on offer!
