Supermarket christmas delivery slots

natalieho

I do nothing with the saved time, i always do online shopping anyway with 3 young children supermarkets are a nightmare. I find they are a nightmare in general esp so at Christmas the last time i went at Christmas was when i was preg in 2006 and passed out in the store due to the heat and all the people fighting/pushing for trolly space. Life is far to short to be bothered with that

So what?

Its individual preference. I don't feel the need to explain to you why I am having my shopping delivered on the 23rd.

Can't understand why you would have a bee in your bonnet about this.

Away and deck yer halls with boughs of holly..... or something :rudolf:

I do what I do at home. Trust me, nobody would want me taking my five year old and three year old to the supermarket. I couldn't imagine anything worse. My three year old doesn't go to the shops at all and my five year old might go for 90 minutes max.

So obviously to that lady her nails were important and she considered paying £5 to get shopping delivered worthwhile.Actually by getting my shopping delivered I'm probably saving money not wasting it!By not going into the shop I don't see those extra little bits you end up popping in your trolley that you don't really need
To answer your question I have three children one of who has aspergers and cannot handle busy shops and I'll have a three of four day old baby as I'm due to give birth on the 19th..does that make me getting a delivery ok with you?

i have a slot for the 21st at 9 am, i was going to change it for the 23rd at 9pm as their are still slots available in store, but after last years fiasco of nothing i ordered being in stock and substitutes being totally different items i think i will stick to the 21st now.

we do the online delivery as i dont drive and dh works shifts so its hard to get to the local store that is not within walking distance

Saw that post last night and didn't think it worthy of a response.
Lots of us need to book a slot as evidenced by all the posts here ands on its sister thread.
Just because we have home delivery we don't have to justify ourselves - and if you're not interested why bother reading it in the first place?

I'll be at work when the shopping is delivered. I order it online and husband does the putting away. So instead of going to the supermarket when I finish work I will be taking my three year old to see santa which is much is much more fun activity

Forgot to say I did get a phone call in response to my email to Tesco - all they said was that they release delivery days threee weeks in advance - so unless we get one of the 'special' emails we will never be told anything more - so we know for next year.
They did ask if I had managed to get a slot - which I had - so don't know if they'd have helped me out if I hadn't - but had to stay up four nights to get the day I wanted.
