Which online grocery shop?

Hi

I have used Tesco, Asda and Sainsburys in the past and have had trouble with all of them, late delivery,odd subs,missing products etc.

Saw an Ocado van the other day and it said prices lowered and have seen stuff in the press about it being cheaper, had a look on my supermarket and it does seem cheaper.

I have been shopping at Aldi, Lidl,Morrisons and Iceland but need to keep out of supermarkets as I spend more and will have less time in Sept when I am back at work.

So is Ocade value for money?

Do not mind paying a bit extra for quality stuff but we are a family of 4 on a budget.

Thanks

    We have been using Ocado online a lot lately. They have a very good "Essential" range, special offers and price match Tesco on a lot of branded items.
    They are always on time, I have never had any items missing and the quality of the items is superb.
    They email me codes to use for 15% off a £75 shop and then I normally also save around £8 to £12 on the offers that I buy.
    I am very happy with Ocado.:T:T:T

    Use www.mysupermarket.com. It does a price check between all Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys and Ocado, so you can then choose which one to buy from after you've decided what you want to buy.

    Register via Top Cashback to get a £4 reward for yourself.

    Then shop via MaxMiles (formerly iPoints) to earn points based on the size of your shop.

    Oh, and remember to check www.hotukdeals.com for any discount vouchers to key through at the checkout.

    And you can still use your Clubcard / Nectar card where appropriate, and pay on a cashback credit card.

    I use WaitroseDeliver, they are great if you have one in your area?

    We have been using Asda for the last three shops (I tend to buy mainly store-cupboard stuff) and so far have been very pleased with the price (lowest on Mysupermarket) and the delivery. The van drivers are very pleasant.
