    I find it very difficult to shop online, but have been tempted by a couple of offers from Ocado and Waitrose.

    My main issue with it, is that my shopping strategy is head to what I call "the treasure shelf" (ie the reduced to clear section) and let that dictate what else I need to buy.

    I live by myself, and I'm not fussy so it works out pretty well - generally I'll spot a big bag of potatoes that are reduced to something silly like 30p, and that will last me until the next time a big bag of bargain spuds pops up!
