What should I buy from Ocado?

Never shopped at Ocado before, only doing it for the 25% off a £60 shop intro offer. No idea what to buy, so far I have burgers and a jar of artichokes in my trolley. I think I want to stock up my cupboards and buy a couple of interesting treats.
Can anyone recommend things that are really good there, or really good value?
I don't like spicy things or fish, and don't eat much meat.

Just buy anything you’d normally buy! My weekly shop is from Ocado so I just get all my groceries from them. Remember they sell M&S products if you want a treat.

My top Ocado stocked brands are; Brindisa, Belazu, Perello gordal olives, Torres crisps, Tim's raspberry, blackcurrant or vanilla big pot greek yoghurts, Bertinet bakery sourdough, Morrish smoked hummus, Bertagne parmesan orvgoats cheese ravioli, Paysan cream cheese, Goodlife spicy bean burgers, Darbo jams. Marks n Spencer for fruit and veg.

Ocado also stock Picard, which is a good quality French frozen food brand. We usually have some Picard baguettes and petits pains in the freezer.

You're still paying 75% of the grocery items' cost. And check exactly what's covered in the discount - the tiny, tiny, tiny print at the bottom of the emails say 'Discount will only be applied to products in the following categories: fresh produce, food cupboard, bakery, frozen, soft drinks, tea & coffee, toiletries, baby meals, drinks & finger foods.'

Which means no discount on items like washing powder, cat food, toilet rolls, nappies...anything where it would make a real difference to your budget.

All that PPs have noted and also make sure to venture into “recipes” tab! I like how they have Nigella recipes with ready-made shopping lists. Ocado own brand is also decent quality, I like chopped frozen herbs/onion/chili packets and staples like tinned corn, red beans for pennies. Free range meats are also good price and quality - not for the showstopper steak, but drumsticks and thighs for midweek meal are very decent.

If you have instant coffee, I have drunk Carte Noir for years, but at £7.50 for 180g, no more..
Chanced Ocado own brand gold roast, 3 quid for 200 grams and I honestly can’t tell the difference!

Thanks all, have added a few of your good suggestions to my trolley! It's coming on Wednesday, how exciting.

Weve got our weekly shop from ocado for years, it's not the cheapest but excellent quality, reliable and most importantly comes in bags!

We find ocado own brand very good. If you search for ocado everyday I think it's called then lots of basic own brand stuff comes up. Look for items that have a red pound sign next to them they are Tesco price matched. Things like tinned beans, tinned tomatoes. Marks and Spencer branded bread is very reasonable.

We spend roughly £150 a week at ocado plus top up shops we are a family of 6.
