Tesco delivery slot not needed

[Tescodelivery]

So, I have a slot thatI don't really need.
I am able bodied, not ill, a key worker so still in work.
It was booked before all this took off but I feel rubbish about it as am quite capable of going shopping myself next week (all being well).
I book food delivery purely for convenience in normal times- as many of us do.
Do I :
a) Keep it just in case my situation changes
b) offer it to neighbours (who I don't know) -I would have to pay for their shopping and get it delivered to me
c) give it up and risk nobody benefitting from it - it may just disappear...

Government has said online shopping slots will be given to most vulnerable groups. So expect to see future slots cancelled.
Most vulnerable are being contacted by NHS.

add a few items on which you could donate if that would make you feel better about keeping the slot
so get them delivered to home, then take them to foodbank, be handled there, go into another home?
Not that the OP intended to make a donation or give to a foodbank in the first place, but surely it would make more sense to simply donate money to a foodbank? Think about the purpose of self isolation and self distancing.

OP - in your place I'd just stick to the order as placed, brace yourself for the delights of the supermarket next week.

I think there must be a sweet spot for supermarket trips - 10.30ish, maybe?
When all the numpties that thought standing in a long queue for hours have dissipated, but before everything you might have wanted has disappeared.

Keep the slot. I have 4 weeks booked, always book in advance, so had them anyway. Thought I wouldn't need them, and now DD who came home from London is unwell, and DH feeling "odd". We are now in self-isolation, so glad we had them in reserve. I will be getting extra stuff for neighbours as well :-)

I agree it is better in terms of limiting the spread to have shopping delivered but I think a lot of those slots will have been taken by greedy, selfish morons. Such as those who book several slots in advance meaning others can’t have them.

I honestly believe that the supermarkets need to start limiting deliveries to one active slot per address. That way everyone would have an equal chance but now we have the selfish booking up three or four households’ worth of slots.

It’s the online equivalent of stock piling and just as selfish.

**Sainsbury's sent an email saying they would prioritise slots for elderly, vulnerable and NHS, with delivery pass owners next.

But I have no idea how they are going to find out. They said they had the information on their database. Not sure how they do. And when I've logged onto the website there is nowhere to say anything like that and just zero slots for three weeks.*

Maybe all the info they collect through Nectar will prove useful. Also some people are registered to get a helper going round the store, for example blind people.

I’m the same. I booked the slots weeks ago and now feel bad because I’m not one of the people who really need them. I had no idea we’d be in a a situation like this six weeks later! I’m asking friends and neighbours if they need anything adding that they are finding hard to get elsewhere (medic neighbour, family in lockdown etc) and leaving it on their doorstep

Like me? But that is always the way I have shopped, so not anything different, and I haven't stockpiled, because I have these slots, and just get what I need. As I am now using them for my neighbours as well, where is that factored into your argument?
