Help !

it seems at the moment they are all a bit overwhelmed, but things will come right again. May take a while though
In the meantime I suggest amazon pantry if you really need things delivered, and gousto/hello fresh etc meal kits

Nope, I noticed this Sunday morning, can always get a Sainsbury’s booked in within a few days, often same day, now there is nothing at all for 3 weeks. I managed to get one of the last click and collect slots now they’re all gone too.

Check if you're in an Amazon Prime Now area. They don't quite have the same variety as the supermarkets but they do everything; chilled, fresh, frozen etc...

It's not quite the same but Musclefood are still offering delivery although taking a bit longer than usual. I have used them a lot over the last year. Obviously only good if you're not veggie/vegan.

When I went on the Tesco app yesterday I managed to get a delivery slot for Monday 6th April, but they had click and collect slots a lot sooner. Could you get someone to collect it for you?
MigGril · 17/03/2020 11:08
I was going to start a topic on this, I have one booked for this Thursday and one booked for the 2ed of April. Can't change them or make any more now totally fully booked. So is Sainsburys, I always do our weekly shopping online and this is totally not normal. Guess I should just hold onto the slots I have and go out inbetween for anything else we need. DS has a cough so we need to isolate.
Scrunchy95 · 17/03/2020 11:18
I shop with Ocado. The virtual que to book a delivery is 2 hours and they are only letting existing customers book.
SoCrimeaRiver · 17/03/2020 11:25
You do wonder what's going to happen when schools are off or more people have to isolate their entire families. "Stay at home and get grocieries ordered online, they'll leave them on your doorstop." Not if you can't get a slot for 3 weeks they won't.

Where do you live? I managed to get a Tesco slot for my in laws in Norwich for next Wednesday which is better than some places. (They are saying they don’t need it and will just pop to the shop which is a different story! 🙄)
Think it will depend on your location - but all are at the absolute limits of their capacity.
And of course no one has any paracetamol.

There’s more availability in click and collect in some areas.
BarbedBloom · 17/03/2020 11:33
Amazon pantry doesn't seem to have much. I have a delivery coming tomorrow but it is all out of stock now and I can't find replacements. I am not supposed to go out at all now so poor DH is going to look around the corner shops on his way home
PhoneTwattery · 17/03/2020 11:35
I booked Iceland last week with their earliest slot (tomorrow). Just a normal shop. Not holding out too much hope with regards to what I'll get!
Digestive28 · 17/03/2020 11:40
If you are in a town check your local Facebook, lots of our local shops (incl food) are doing home delivery now. Presumably desperately trying to still get money in whilst government isn’t allowing them to get insurance claims- imagine they could use your support
SallyLovesCheese · 17/03/2020 12:53
Agree local shops. We've had a couple post on FB that they're offering free delivery. Worth checking your local FB pages.
Egghead68 · 17/03/2020 19:10
Maybe your local fish & chip place etc would also deliver?
IsolationMum · 17/03/2020 19:11
Try local butchers and greengrocers! They are desperate for people to order from them.
