Ocado again

[Doigthebountyeater]

Have just signed up to Ocados thing where you pay £3.99 a month a get unlimited deliveries. I though it was a good idea but now they've stopped sending me those nice emails with 15% off my next shop. I only ever got 1/2 deliveries a month and often got the £1.99 late night slots. Dammit, AIBU to think I have just shot muself in the foot financially? PLUS all this talk of free gifts... I can't remember the last time the buggers gave me a free gift! GRRR! Btw, usually spend about £140-£180 per shop if that's relevant.

YEs you have shot yourself in the foot - but at least you'll definately get a Christmas slot!

[Doigthebountyeater]

But not the actual week of Xmas apparently... Well you can have one but no more.

Fuck it, where's my free bad ham they used to keep giving us?

[mazzystartled]

you could order less more frequently, just to get your money's worth? how about one item per day?

but i reckon an email saying you don't send me offers anymore might be fun

[Doigthebountyeater]

Might do that. It does seem unfair to their regular customers doesn't it?

[bestbefore]

they've stopped my offer emails too.....and I haven't signed up for it. Think they have just changed policy in some way. Annoying though

[Doigthebountyeater]

Oh right. it happened immediately after I signed upp for the service so assumed the two were connected.

[SoupDragon]

I often have more than one delivery a week. One main one and a small one to top up on fresh stuff.


And in my last delivery was a tube of Pringles. Mmmmm.

[MollieO]

Just a tube of Pringles or £40 worth of Pringles? I thought there was a minimum order value?

[SoupDragon]

Sorry, I meant a free tube of pringles. :o

[MollieO]

I did wonder! I never get anything free other than bloody Boden catalogues and I pay £9.99 month [mug emoticon]

[SleepWhenImDead]

I think they're stopping the 15% off vouchers, I only ordered when I"d got one. I think I'll change to Waitrose now as they have £0 delivery charge. To the OP, yes I think you probably have shot yourself in the foot, sorry! Sometimes I have thought about the ocado sign up thing but then I thought I would be hemmed in and wouldn't have any choice but to use them for the next year.

[bellavita]

Oh and I thought the £0 delivery charges were just for the new store that has opened near us.... I thought it was to get customers in

[CatIsSleepy]

am not sure we've ever had a 15% off voucher and we've been ordering off them for ages!

[Doigthebountyeater]

Free pringles I am sooooo jealous!!!!
Well, let that be a lesson to you peeps, don't sign up for the unlimited deliveries thingy!

[Simbacatlives]

We get free cloudy bay wine.

[Doigthebountyeater]

Hope she does and gives me some bloody free pringles/and or wine.

[Doigthebountyeater]

Is cloudy bay good or not?

[CatIsSleepy]

free wine? bloody hell. the last freebie we had was a bag of chilli-flavoured rice cakes

[prettybird]

The Cloudy Bay Sauvignan Blanc used to be one of the best New World Sauvignan Blancs. it's now massively increased its production so it is not quite so exclusive - but it, or even the chardonnay (which was more "middle of the range" quality wise) would be more than respectable as a freebie

[bellavita]

When I first started doing online shopping with Ocado, I got a few free bottles of that Cloudy Bay stuff. Was quite nice.

[mutable]

We've never had a free tube of pringles!

Always get a 'free' Boden catalogue though

[MrsDinky]

I got a 15% voucher today, so they are still doing them.

[bellavita]

Oooh get you MrsDinky

[Tagada]

Not had vouchers for ages, but lots of smashed yogurts though (almost once a week), really can't understand how they do it...
