Why do you go the supermarket rather than have food delivered?

[Sweetpotaro]

I took my 2 kids to a big Sainsbury's today whereas we normally have a weekly home delivery. It was awful with them messing about etc.

There were, however, lots of other families there.

Why do you choose to go to a physical supermarket rather than a weekly delivery? Is it:

• you enjoy browsing (but with kids in tow - is this not really stressful??)
• you don't spend the minimum spend (I think £50) to get delivery?
• you want the yellow label items?
• you see it as an outing out the house?

Each to their own but interested in other perspectives.

I peer to shop little and often as there’s only me to cater for but I don’t have lots of food etc storage space. It also means I can choose the best product, avoid weird substitutions and don’t have to be tied to a list. I can browse before I decide.

I like getting a proper look at all the new and exciting products.

you want the yellow label items, and when getting eg veg you select the longest dates to last etc

Because I shop at Aldi.
They don't offer online shopping buy they are the cheapest and save me loads of money!

You can click and collect at some Aldis so then you can turn up when you like within the given slot :)

Sadly it's not widespread though - be great if it was at every branch.

@SirChenjins agreed!

My usual supermarket doesn't deliver.

I do order online for times when we're coming home from a trip, and find it convenient then. But it's true you often end up with fruit and veg close to dates.

I live alone, I am lonely. It gets me out of the house, and I like to wander round, and be tempted.
