Supermarket Christmas delivery slots

[PrincessWire]

Has anyone any idea when these open up? I've tried googling but I'm not getting anywhere!

I think some have already opened up, maybe for regular shoppers
I have a Waitrose slot in 23rd December

Do you need to buy the groceries now
Do they take the money out your account now

Morrisons for delivery saver have opened and pretty much booked up from what I could see. Not sure if it was limited delivery pass people though

Waitrose opened a month ago, I have the 23rd booked as well.

shouldidoit you have to put enough in the basket to check out (usually £40). I just put bottles of wine in! Then go in up to the day before (usually) and edit and add what you actually want. I take the wine out!
Money is taken on the day of delivery

I did have an "emergency" waitrose one booked incase I couldn't get tesco last year, complete forgot about it and had an email on the morning of the 23rd informing me my bottles of wine were arriving as planned..! I called them and they cancelled though thankfully.

You don't pay till it's delivered. I'll maybe look into a delivery pass with Morrisons as I do prefer them. Thanks everyone

Tesco not out yet for delivery savers but I saw dates for non delivery savers. End of Nov
Wish they were out now. Stresses me out trying

I’ve got a Booths slot for Sat 22nd. Got it two days ago.

Non delivery saver slots for Morrison’s open at the end of October apparently.

Tesco are usually November 26th for delivery saver customers. Easy for me to remember - mum's birthday. The buggers will probably change it this year and catch me out knowing my luck.

I've let our Sainsbury's delivery pass expire and I'm currently considering my options as we've just had a brand new Aldi open 5 mins' walk from the house. Which obviously means no priority booking for a Christmas slot.

I'm going to try the weekly shop at Aldi this week before deciding how I'll continue.

Does anyone know when is the first day you can book a Sainsburys slow bear to Christmas? Is it still 21dsys in advance if the delivery day, even fir the Christmas period?

*slot near to Christmas
Not slow bear!!!

Ocado are open for smart pass holders but it’s £9.99 for delivery

And £90 minimum spend

@Gettingthereslowly, yes, without a pass it's the usual 21 days. With a pass it's usually 28 days.

Great thank you, I always mess this up!

Ugh. I didn't realise waitrose was open for Christmas slots and naturally they're all full now. Arse.

I did manage to get a click and collect slot when I wanted though, (midday on the 23rd) which I'm wondering if it defeats the object...

I want a Sainsbury's slow bear!

Ocado always charge 9.99 for Christmas slots, even to smart pass holders.

That’s outrageous especially when Waitrose deliver for free and only a £60 minimum spend too.

I usually do a Tesco click and collect but I’ve got a smart pass now so thought I’d book a delivery this yr. I won’t be for £10 delivery! I’ll accidentally book a click and collect for when I’m at work so dh can deal with Tesco car park .

It's blatant profiteering and would put me off them, quite frankly!

Normally you get an e mail from Sainsbury's advising you when slots open.
