MIL is elderly and taken a real dip since lockdown started, both physically and mentally. She lives alone.
DH is her only local family and although they don't get along (he has had yrs of therapy for his damaged childhood) we have been doing our best to look out for her and I'm trying to make it as easy on him as we can.
He has been doing her shopping but he doesn't drive, so it gets tricky. He wants to get her a weekly shopping delivery to her home, which he can then come and put away.
I thought this would be easier but she never wants more than £20-30 worth of goods in a week even including freezables, toiletries and cleaning etc. The weekly requirement is so that she could have fresh fruit and veg etc.
We'd be happy to pay a premium for this but I cannot find a supermarket that will accept a delivery order under £40. All I can think of is to have it fortnightly and then supplement in the middle week, but with the idea being to automate it a bit and take the pain out of it for him, I'm surprised I can't find a way to pay extra and have a smaller weekly delivery.
Am I missing a trick here, is there not a way to throw money at this? Any help gratefully received as for some reason this causes him the most stress and this way she can get exactly what she wants. Thanks in advance
