To think that the Ocado website is crap?

[BupcakesandCunting]

I thought I'd give it a go today and do my online shop with Ocado.

Well, I've flounced back over to Sainsbury's because the Ocado website is SHIT. Not logical or anything. I don't know how anyone finds anything on there. Cup-a-Soups are next to beans are next to Cif bog cleaner.

Poor show, Ocado. Poor show.

BUT I'm not going to sit there and type each individual item in that I need, am I?! Is that how you people internet shop? It must take you fifty billionty years, you mad, mad fools!

Still shit.

But Ocado has subsections too - don't understand how you mean.

So if I was looking for cup a soup, I'd go to Store cupboard - tins and cans - soup

or I'd search cup a soup

T be fair beans are in the tins and cans section too, and I know cup a soup sn't really a tin/can but other soup is hence why I'd go there first or search.

I shop either way but normally I am shopping from a menu plan so for quickness I do just type in each item and click on it, esp as many things are in my favourites anyway so come up first on the list.

I find it far longer to do it section by section.

That's how I do it.
I thought that's how you do it the first time you ever shop anywhere?
It's always quicker the next time because anything you buy gets stored in your favourites and then when you do another shop, they all pop up so you don't have to search for them.

How do you do it at Sainsbury's then?

I do it at Sainsbury's by nutting the keyboard and pressing "buy"

But don't you then have to scroll through lots of things you don't want to get to the thing you do want in the sub section

Surely typing it in is quicker and easier?

Ah how timely just had a text to say Andrew in Apple Van will be delivering my shopping today with no substitutions

Andrew in Apple Van? Where the shit are you doing your shopping? Balamory?

Mine is coming later tonight too - Gareth in Strawberry Van (then reg number) No items missing :)

I love Leo in Lemon Van.

He is fucking gorgeous!

YABVVVVVVVVU. Ocado is amazing! Waitrose is shite. Big fat shame I signed up to 12 months of JLP vouchers for my weekly shop. I now have to spend my precious Saturday morning actually going there in person. Not happy!

No I love it

And the ocado iPad app is just brilliant, especially if you use quick pin. Took me 10 mins last night, easy easy

They seem to have changed the van names.

No more beetroot, cabbage or courgette vans then?

Also they do lily flame candles

Oh fucking hell they call their vans fruit names? I was right to take an instant dislike.

No bup no!

Try 'em.

You'll get a very nice, polite (and often good looking driver) who carries all your food into your house for you, takes back your old bags (if you've shopped there before) and will refund you any problems there and then on the spot.

Tesco delivery IMO was fucking dire. I hate Tesco.

I like the fruity names, it's adorable

Aaah do they always try and alliterate their drivers and vans. C'mon Bups you gotta love a bit of alliteration with your home delivery

No, you are wrong OP, 'tis marvellous. Set up a list, shop from there and the specials, and bob's your uncle.

Tesco is pants, Asda always about 10 seconds off its sell by date, Sainsburys was truly shite, my heart belongs to ocado (tragic)....

I had Marlon in onion van this morning :-)

Bupcakes - do you click on "view by categories"? That breaks down the gargantuan categories of eg. Fresh in fruit, veg, dairy etc. Once you have done a few shops (if you're anything like me and by the same shit all the time) then almost everything you want will be in your favourites.

I tried to defect to Waitrose for the free delivery and better range, but their website makes me want to tear all my hair out and eat my fists, so back to Ocado it is!

I have no problem with it

I have been on all 4 big websites this weekend (am trying them all out!) and thought Ocado was easily the best of the websites - I love that they split their categories down so much. Also I could get a free delivery slot (admittedly about 2 weeks in the future, but it was free! Whereas with sainsbury's there were no free slots at all even if I went 3 weeks into the future.)

I do have a very specific list before I start. Online shopping is not for browsers I have decided, trying to find offers you might actually be interested in is 20x harder on all of the sites than in store.

And it's always hard the first time. Once you've set up your first Shopping List, you're well away.
