I am shattered. Have just completed the Christmas food shop. There was a money off voucher for Waitrose deliver in a copy of The Oxford Times that I was looking through in the staff kitchen today, so coupled with free delivery over £75, I snapped it up. Doing the Christmas shop was a little more challenging. On the one hand I’m sure I saved money by not actually being there and being seduced by all manner of offers, but on the other hand I did have a two hour window to complete the order, with the (perceived) stress of having to get it right with so many people to cater for, and wanting to stick to some kind of budget, whilst working with an unfamiliar online shop…
I’ve done it though. Order will be delivered to my house on Friday evening, done and dusted, no queuing for me. And what’s more only 20 quid or so over the normal weekly shop (not counting the turkey from the butcher and various other sundries.
