Getting food delivered without being charged

glowgirl_2

I have had a quick look on Tescos website and it would appear that they charge for deliveries:( I would like to get the heavier items I buy delivered regularly so could easily meet a minimum spend so is there anyway round this? shops I have locally are sainsburys, tesco, morrisons (my fav) Iceland and M&S anyone got any suggestions?

Waitrose offer free delivery £50 and over and pricematch lots with tesco.
their own brand cheaper essential range quite good.

Iceland do free delivery as well, min spend was £25 and i believe it still is, you do your shop as normal and ask for home delivery.

Sainsburys charge for delivery(can get delivery for £3.50 but to get it for £3.50 you are restricted to certain days) but if your bill is over £100 you get free del.

Morrisons were trialing internet dleiveries but not heard anything yet how its gone.

I've found quite a lot of things I use on Amazon, toilet rolls, Flour, olive oil ,etc all with free delivery.

I use http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com to check if there's any price drops. I've had some great bargains using that.

Iceland did try Internet delivery briefly and I thought it was great, but obviously didn't go as expected and they stopped it.

I have tried Sainsbury's, Tesco and ASDA but stick with Waitrose, not only because delivery is free any time, but because 99% of the time I get all the shopping ordered. It's a pain when you get subs or nothing - and end up paying delivery charges on only half the shopping ordered or with lots of items you didn't order.

On the Waitrose site is says that there is a £3 delivery charge however much you spend, also my nearest one is about 20 miles away, it doesn't say it wouldn't deliver but is that too far? I'm not a Tesco fan anyway but don't like that they charge for delivery so not keen to use them, hope Morrison's sort something out soon then I could get all the stuff I like delivered and not just the heavier brands name products, thanks everyone:)

There's a good Groupon deal at the moment with Ocado, see this thread - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3764035

For £39 you get £40 worth of shopping and free midweek delivery for a year. Minimum spend per order is £40.

Even if you just place the first order and don't take advantage of the free delivery for the rest of the year you haven't lost anything!

It should be free over £50, the website says so too. right on the home page.
EDITED I meant Waitrose, which is the one I use.

Go to the last page of the Discount vouchers in the forum. you can usually find a code that works.

Supermarkets often have a minimum spend to get delivery. Last time I checked it was £50 for Waitrose with free delivery and £40 for Sainsburys with varying delivery charges. Iceland does free delivery for a £25 spend but you physically have to go there and buy it all.

As a newbie, I don't think I can post links but some people in London and SE can get deliveries from Kent farms via Foodari and orders over £40 get free delivery. I find the veg expensive but the game is a good price.

The Asian Cook Shop does free delivery on a 24.99 order for spices, rice, Indian, Chinese & Caribbean foodstuffs etc.

I always get free or very low priced delivery slots from Ocado, I just keep looking until a free one comes up, for us it is normally the later ones i.e. after about 10pm. If you are registered and don't shop for a while they tend to start sending codes for 10 or 15 % off your shop.
