I Feel Like Old Mother Hubbard

[SparklyKid]

Never seen the pantry so bereft of food stocks.

We tend to go day by day for the day.

Not been to a supermarket for weeks, don't fancy the idea of queuing outside.

Spar have most things.

[Prudie]

Are there still queues? I walked straight into our large Tesco on Thursday afternoon, OH was able to do the same yesterday afternoon.

[daisypotter]

The biggest queues seem to be around lunchtime and even then they move pretty quickly nowadays. People aren't panic buying so much now.

[Zacs-Master]

Except meat and cider.

Never stood in a supermarket for 9 weeks now, son in law does our shopping, must think we’re minted as he always gets more than we need haha but he’s our golden boy anyway x

Delivery? Click and collect?

[tiggerblue10]

I somehow manage to get deliveries so I make the most of them buying heavy bulky stuff. Every now and then I'll pop to the local Co op to get fresh stuff but there always seems to be a queue when I go. I've tried late morning, lunchtime, afternoon and early evening.

[Bobbisox1]

And expensive as well Tiggs x

[AuntPollyGrey]

Our Co-op is cheaper than Sainsbury's but just stocks essential. I'm hoping to persuade OH to go shopping at Aldi next week rather than get deliveries from Sainsburys. I don't normally do a weekly shop at Sainsburys but they were the only store that offered me priority delivery slots.

4 pints of milk in local coop is £1-50
Asda , £1-10

[tiggerblue10]

Yes Bobbs, it does work out more expensive :o( x

Also, I can't believe how much I have spent on Amazon in the last few weeks! Today I've ordered a fold-able laptop desk.

Sainsbury's £1.85

I don’t think your alone there Tiggs and I believe folk are buying extra online to give them a boost , to date I’ve bought a new computer ( other ones C partition had broken, found that out when I tried to do a hard reset on it) a new Apple Watch as the other I got off Mr B at Christmas gone kept freezing ( so that was really a return and a new one so no money, and an upgrade to an Apple 11 phone , notice mines all tech stuff :0/

[Bobbisox1]

Gosh APG, that is expensive

[SparklyKid]

Cheers folks. Might venture out next week to Morrisons, etc.

[tiggerblue10]

I've had to also order clothing/summer gear from Debenhams for Little Tiggs. He is growing out of his current clothes and needed some new shorts and sandals.

[barry1010]

I've just checked the Sainsbury's website. 4 pint semi-skimmed is £1.10. 4 pints of organic semi-skimmed is £1.55 Where do you live, APG?

[Spicerack]

Haven't you got anyone who'll go shopping for you, Sparkle?
My 75yr old neighbour does most of mine.

[Bobbisox1]

It could be a Sainsbury’s local Barry , like Tesco Extra, they are franchises and prices differ in them

[SparklyKid]

I have got used to shopping locally. Might venture further afield soon.

[Bobbisox1]

Sparklykid is the one shopping for other people Spicey and he himself is 75, a good neighbour indeed
