For anyone who is interested - M&S food is on Ocado

[TweetUsOnFacebook]

Do a search for M&S. I can see the range, 4672 items, but it's all showing out of stock. Looks like some decent products to substitute the Waitrose Essentials range.

Says deliveries from 15th Sept.

@Xiaoxiong

Cool! Look forward to checking it out. To be honest a lot of the Ocado own-brand stuff has already substituted the Essential Waitrose items for me. I do like M&S food though, especially their fruit & veg which is excellent.

The move away from Waitrose has also prompted me to explore a lot of the other ranges which are only on Ocado like Reflets de France and Picard (both brilliant). I hope those don't get substituted by M&S!

Our M&S food hall has a load of Picard stuff on the freezers. Now I know why.

@Feminist10101

So torn. I love the ease of Ocado deliveries but am boycotting M+S. I need to see how much of my usual orders I can still make without using M+S products, I think. :(

Why are you boycotting M&S but not ocado? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/3377551-ocado-boycott-statement

I like natoora, I've only had the meats though.

I've not had meat from them- didn't realise they did meat- all fruit and veg I've tried.

I've never seen the Reflets range on there before either and I've been shopping there 15 years! There seems to be all sorts of hidden things that don't come up in searches unless you search for them specifically and know what you are looking for. For example the waitress jalapeño combo type crisps never appear when I just search crisps- I always have to type in the exact words to find them.

My Ocado app appears to have disappeared and been replaced with Ocado Zoom, which doesn't deliver to my address (just outside M25 so not so far away)

Anyone else only got Ocado Zoom app?

Well, on the back of this thread, I checked and ocado is now available in my area so bagged a free slot for tomorrow evening. Was a bit stressful only having an hour to fill my trolley but we've been doing about 80% of our shopping at markses, since lockdown, so I'm looking forward to being able to save a bit of legwork, once I get used to it. I might be able to cancel my sainsburys delivery pass if the variety of non markses stuff is kept up.

I did add some waitrose fresh curry leaves to my order. Will have to carry on travelling into Newcastle occasionally to get my fix.

I had a good look through the M&S stuff and it looks good. I was going to stop Ocado after they cancelled my regular slot and then couldn’t book for weeks and weeks but I’ve slunk back. It is the best for online shopping.

My main issue is that my son’s favourite food is sausages which he’ll eat in a pasta dish, as hot dogs, with mash, in a casserole but he will only eat the Waitrose Essentials ones. I’ve tried him with lots of others and he can spot them a mile off. He is a really fussy eater so it causes problems when we can’t get them (and he practically starved himself on holiday). I’ve brought M&S ones in the past and he said they were too herby. I am shamelessly stockpiling them at present!

M&S used to call their OPP stuff ‘simply’. Try searching that tweetusonfacebook. Might work.

can i ask why you're boycotting marks?

There was a long, very long thread about this, pretty evenly split between those of us who use an expensive bottle of booze to secure the slot by checking out immediately then go back and add more things later ... and those calling that selfish behaviour.

Oooh looks like they will be doing the meal deals. I found the pizza one .

It doesn't work but thanks

The basics markses stuff now has the cringe worthy label "remarksable value"

@Isol are you too far away from a Waitrose that you can’t visit to stock up? If so, I think their minimum for a delivery order is £40 and £60 qualifies you for free delivery.

Thanks! If you type in 'Remarksable' (bleugh!) you basically get the Waitrose Essentials range rebranded as M&S.
