    It must be regional then. There are no free slots for me at Tesco or Asda.

    Why can't you use it as an opportunity to SAVE £5 per week? Spend £40 every two weeks instead of £50.
  • bundly, I got £5 per month, maybe they're making it up as they go along.

    I was just checking out Ocado when I stumbled across this:

    "There is a minimum order requirement of £40 (excluding delivery charges) for every order placed. The £40 minimum spend does not apply during the Christmas period, whereby the minimum order requirement will be £90 (excluding delivery charges). The Christmas delivery period is from 20 December to 24 December inclusive."

    Because I eat almost entirely fresh foods and they do not last two weeks.

    (For example Tesco brought me a bad of mixed salad yesterday the 7th July, eat by 8th July, and today it was already looking limp and slimy. Bananas are already going black..)

    I got the email from Tesco too. So I cancelled my delivery saver. I'll just order when I really need to and use £1 slots. I only use Tesco for water and special offer products so my order is never over £30.

    I emailed a complaint to Tesco CEO Dave Lewis, you may want to do the same

    I got the same email and just phoned them to stop them automatically renewing my delivery saver. I only paid £30 for the year and it runs out in September so I wouldn't get much of a refund if I cancelled it.

    I live alone and £25 is just about all I order from Tesco as fresh food goes off quickly. I'm not happy!
