I shop online with morrisons (delivery pass)and also have an amazon prime pass.

I have gone from shopping online at morrisons  every 7 days.

Because i work a 4 on 4 off system i split my shopping between amazon fresh and morrisons. ill open 2 tabs on my computer one for morrisons and one for amazon fresh, who ever has it cheaper it will be bought from them.Amazon fresh sells a lot of morrisons branded stuff.£40 minimum delivery on both but that works out o.k for me.

Instead of shopping on each Friday like i used too i will now shop every 4 days (amazon fresh on my first shift mostly for fresh meat/salad for sandwiches and morrisons on my first rest day).

Plus sometimes the same product is cheaper on the main amazon website than amazon fresh.

This system seems to be working out cheaper for me, my savings seem to be covering the cost of my prime subscription and a bit more.

Morrisons online minimum order is £25 in my area.

It is with me, too. Just as well, actually, as I seem to be buying less and less from this company.

This seems to be a countrywide thing with Morrisons.  My Mum, in the rural midlands, has until recently relied on Morrisons as its the only supermarket she can get to easily, but she says the shelves are almost always empty and the prices are rocketing.  Here in south Wales, both the sizeable Morrisons near me have severe stock issues and yesterday 2 pints of semi skimmed was £1.35 up from 98p earlier in the year, unsalted own brand butter was £1.99 instead of £1.20 just a couple of months ago, and locally produced sliced bread was £1.40 when it has been £1 for as long as I can remember.  Even the massive Morrisons on Birmingham's Five Ways have stock issues - my brother reports that there was literally nothing in the bread aisle at 9am on  Saturday morning.

We are very lucky in that we have a very decent butcher and fruit / veg shop within easy reach and their quality is much, much better than any of the supermarkets' offerings, so we rarely go into any of the big supermarkets now.   Home Bargains or Savers for toiletries, cleaning stuff etc.  I haven't worked out if I erode all the savings by using more petrol though - because that is just a soul destroying thought!

To be fair, all the supermarkets have raised prices and at the moment Morrisons are selling butter cheaper than both Aldi. and Sainsbury's. Similarly, milk prices have soared everywhere as have shortages. My nearest Aldi had no filtered milk yesterday and Morrisons is completely out of stock for Cravendale for a delivery this weekend. Morrisons' general issues with stock shortages do seem worse than the others, I agree, but I'm not sure they are raising prices any more than their obvious competitors.
