The professional shopper would have one shop at 3x£15 bottles of wine and another shop at 3x£5 bottles of wine.
That would have been my natural instinct anyways.
It's Ocado, so you pay for deliveries under £75 and are limited to one delivery a day. At the moment, I am toying with the idea of buying a dozen Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc at £13 a bottle after discount, and leaving it at that. Overpriced for a mass-produced wine, but the 2011 is said to be very good.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

(it also didn't help if you came in drunk and failed to shut the grill or the front door...).
Umm, whooooosh. The doors in Headingley have grilles, but the adverts I have seen are for grills. I doubt that anyone would want barbecued burglar, but it would lead to a huge drop in crime.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

My mother was married with a child (aged 0-7) - and still living at home with her mother as her husband was in the forces.John_Pierpoint wrote: »......where is my next fix?
[Sorry jaundiced view of the world today - a couple of under 25 women have just been interviewed outside a primary school.
"You cannot live at home when you've got a kid. My mum lives in a place like mine. You cannot live at home with a kid, families are entitled to their own place".
I was wondering if families need fathers too.]0 -
There's some Posh-Card, where you pay an annual amount and don't pay for deliveries... I think.It's Ocado, so you pay for deliveries under £75 and are limited to one delivery a day.
Ocado don't deliver where I live, I've just read that here/around I think.
There was some Aldi wine at £3.99 on the cookery programmes recently (probably Saturday Kitchen, Saturday 16 June 2012) - and they really rated that one as unusual for its price as it's really lovely and drinkable. Apparently you can't get drinkable wine under £5. My lifestyle's never been of the wine-buying posh type.At the moment, I am toying with the idea of buying a dozen Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc at £13 a bottle after discount, and leaving it at that.

People never used to buy wine..... that's another new lifestyle thing that's crept in in the past 10 years.0 -

there is waitrose deliver as well (basically waitrose deliver bring food from your local waitrose, ocado buy waitrose products and deliver them from a warehouse but also do their own branded stuff - their meat is usually minging), but doubt they deliver to you either if your nearest one is a 100 mile round trip away!0 -
