On 1 September, England's best online grocer (OCADO) joins forces with M&S ( arguably the best and certainly the longest-serving quality food retailer ). 
It is a wonderful venture. Ocado, voted Best Online Grocer for the past few years, sells all manufacturers' products and its own-brand delicious goodies. M&S are better known, a national institution, and their brand has always been brilliant over many decades.
If you're one of the vast majority of shoppers who have always admired M&S food, but have never tried Ocado, I strongly recommend that you give Ocado just one single trial run when it joins up with Marks. You won't lose much by having one delivery and you may find a whole new Aladdin's Cave, especially if you are like some of us who dislike trekking round crowded and noisy supermarket aisles. I really believe that online food shopping is the way the future will develop-----and, if so, the Ocado/M&S combo looks unbeatable.

    and add to that M&S high prices, it's a non starter.

    I'm amused by the suggestion that people might be EXCITED at anything to do with online grocery shopping.

    A side effect of the lockdown perhaps?

    OP has shares in Ocado.
    Not that I'm suggesting his opinion, as posted, isn't honestly held.

    I cannot wait ! I have a tab with Ocado open and refresh every day until September deliveries come up.

    love m&s food. never get much chance to go there though, because m+s here is in the town centre and I'm allways working when they are open. so what the o/p is suggesting could be good for me.

    Have you considered a career in advertising  :D 
    TBH Ocado's reputation seems to have taken a dive during COVID 19 due to an inability to adapt and expand their service. I've read threads from existing Ocado customers who found it very difficult to get any kind of delivery slot and if you were an infrequent or potential new customer you were persona non grata.  
    Well, I love the dive. My 2000 shares were 1214 in February this year, and are now at 2240.
    Gosh, aren't dives  "exciting" phenomena ?

    Thank you for not making the suggestion-----the shares were purchased after we had been shopping with Ocado for some time, after much research and were so impressed that the shares came long after the admiration we have for Ocado. TY.

    In survey after survey it has been proven that the vast majority of food buyers think M&S is top-class, over many decades. Of course, you pay for what you get and if you can't afford M&S prices that is a shame. Sorry.
