To be jealous of my neighbours' Tesco deliveries?

Alright a bit of me knows I am, but still. They've had 3 in the last 7 days, that I've seen. They are definitely not vulnerable/shielding, the dad is still going to work every day and the mum works in a nursery which is currently closed and is at home with the 3 school aged DC.

I'm NHS, still going to work, and a single parent, I can't shop at NHS-only times because they clash with my work hours, and when I do shop I have to take the DC with me.

Prior to all this I have been a weekly Tesco delivery customer for about 5 years, one of my DC is sensory seeking and a nightmare in shops at the best of times, plus it's just easier all round.

I check every single day for a Tesco delivery slot, I cant get one they're booked up for weeks. I've managed to get a couple of click and collects, and tide us over with dashes to the Spar in the evenings with the DC in tow (and DS desperately trying to remember not to lick/sniff/ touch stuff, its v stressful).

How, how are they doing it? HOW!!? I am so, so jealous and a tiny bit judging when they have 2 adults in the house, and one of them goes out every day, why do they need deliveries and WHY CAN'T I GET ONE Envy Angry

simiisme, I was getting a bit pissed off with Sainsbury's as well. The first home shop we did with them they managed to lose a whole bag full of freezer items and they could not find another 8 items. I had to go out and shop in the end. Just as well we have had 2 successful deliveries although husband was a little overenthusiastic with the last list ! We will be ok for 2 weeks.

No idea. I've been a delivery saver customer since it was launched an an online Tesco shopper for years. I've given up even looking for slots! Maybe they know someone on the inside? Grin

I dunno if you are being unreasonable or not bug can you try morrisons/m&s /aldi foodboxes ? I think each one is about £35 plus delivery....just a thought ? I know they sell out quickly ...

Explain to your neighbors that you’re struggling, and ask them if they would mind texting you when they next see any delivery slots available online please- that way you don’t have to keep checking and can quickly jump on and book one when you get their message. I’ve been managing to easily get a Tesco delivery every week by checking at random times through the day, then letting my vulnerable / shielding family members know so they can quickly get slots too. Good luck OP xxx
