I'm not sure whether to bother going for this actually. I keep trying items on mysupermarket and I'm not impressed with how they compare - like £4.31 for a box of Diet Coke that is £3.25 in Tesco and Asda and only £3 in Sainsburys. It seems like extra bother just to get a shop for the price I'd usually pay..

If you buy items on offer or the ones that are labelled the same price as Tesco - there is no way you can't make £27.50 off £40 worth it - especially with just £1.99 to pay for delivery.

I Know what you mean though - i struggled at first - but then just stocked up on items i always need that were the same price as usual. It meant buying several duplicate items. Then i got them for less than half price with the code and cashback - delivered.

What have you ordered? Have you found some good offers?

Not really Blue, just got everyday items. Wine seems to be the best deal for those that drink it (25% off if you buy 6).

I got some Buxton Carbonated Mineral Water for the van - cos local water as lots of lime in. Worked out less than 9p a bottle, and thats before cashback.

If you buy branded items I agree but the waitrose cook range I find a lot better than any other supermarket in my opinion (only mine mind). I tend to save buying from them for special occassions as they are expensive. Unlike the Tesco Cook range the meats tend to be a lot nicer from Waitrose or maybe I've just had bad luck with the ranges I choose.

May I recommend the frozen garlic. You will never buy fresh again.

Totally brilliant- no waste- no mess.

Everyone I know is now converted.

am I being daft or not correctly reading the offer. Ive registered and it says I can print when the offer is closed in 2.5 hours. Is there something else I should be doing?

No, just wait for code and then order (don't forget cashback).

Some of us got code early and jumped the gun to get a quick delivery spot - but it may backfire if order is cancelled.

lol i've just been having a browse and looked up diet coke cans (something that we get through loads and loads of and i hate paying full price for)

best deals i can find are

ocado 12 x £3.38 = £40.56 - £20 =14p a can.

on offer at asda £4 for 15 = 26p a can

on offer at tesco £7 for 24 = 29p a can

on offer at sainsburys £3 for 10 = 30p a can


hhhmm what to do what to do, lol you can tell the grabbit board is quite this evening:rotfl:

Noting how much more expensive Ocado seem to be than other supermarkets I thought it would make sense to go for the Tesco price matched products. I was in Tesco last night so I know that Radox stadard bath stuff is on offer at £1. However, these are priced at £1.95 on Ocado. Strange I thought, so I read their price match Terms and Conditions ...

Standard retail prices matched on all identical, branded products at Tesco.com. Does not apply to own-label products, temporary promotions, products pending temporary promotion or any other special offers.
We flag each price-matched product on the website. We recheck prices daily (except for Saturday and Sunday) and will indicate on the website the date and time when the most recent price check was begun (on the detailed information page of each matched product and also at the bottom of each page where price-matched products are flagged). So if Tesco change any prices (say) the day after we price check, that will be picked up by us and matched on the next price check day.
Data is collected for Ocado by an independent price comparison consultancy to produce a list of Tesco.com products and prices. They search a number of Tesco stores, across an area that is representative of the Ocado delivery geography. We intend to price match every identical product, but as Tesco.com availability and product range varies depending on which Tesco store is used to fulfil the Tesco.com order, we may inadvertently have missed a few products in common. If that is pointed out to us we will remedy the position.
Ocado follows the timing of Waitrose temporary promotions. As a result we do not match Tesco temporary promotions. This means that where a product is on promotion at Tesco we match Tesco's standard retail prices and not their temporary promotional prices or mechanics. For example, if a product is on promotion at Tesco and advertised as "Was £2.49 Now £2.25", we will match the standard retail price (the "Was" price), i.e. £2.49. If Tesco has an item on a multi-buy promotion (for example, 'buy one get one free'), we will still match the single unit selling price of the item but not offer the free product.
Ocado promotions: We set the price of products that we place on promotion 5-7 days prior to the promotion starting. From that point onwards we no longer match the Tesco price, but until the promotion begins the product will continue to be sold at the last matched Tesco standard retail price. When the promotion begins customers will receive the full benefit of the Ocado temporary promotion (whether that be a price reduction or a multi-buy promotion). When the promotion ends, we re-match to Tesco's then-current standard retail price.
Please bear in mind that all products in the Ocado catalogue are provided to all customers (and at the same price) irrespective of where they live in the Ocado delivery geography. The Tesco product range varies between stores. We have not compared products from Tesco stores that are outside of the Ocado delivery geography.
You may see some products that are price matched to an earlier date than the most recent price match day. This happens when we can no longer find the product on the Tesco.com website. So we continue to match the last Tesco price we have seen until we reach the conclusion that Tesco no longer stock the product, at which point it stops being part of the price match policy. A small number of products such as magazines are not flagged as being price-matched to Tesco, but in practice are sold by Ocado at Tesco's standard retail price (the price printed on the product). Occasionally Ocado sells these items at a discount in which case they fall outside of the terms of the price-match policy.
All products are supplied subject to availability.

The way I read it is that they don't match Tesco promotional prices, only Tesco standard prices. Interesting huh?!

I doubt any of their new customers will be shopping with them a second time.
