Done to death BUT - the differences in expenditure in different supermarkets...

[Badvoc]

...I am getting an ocado delivery tomorrow as I am doing a joint b day party for dh and ds1 on sat (pray for good weather for me!) and obv it is more than usual as I am buying things I dont normally buy (booze etc)

I am ill atm and so after realising that the shop for tomorrow will be £120 yesterday I decided to do an equivalent shop at on asdas website...

It was a £10 difference. Thats all. (and I am having to pay £5 for del for my ocado order as its not my usual day).

I was v surprised by this...asda is supposed to be the cheapest isnt it??

I thought if it was LOADS cheaper I would cancel the ocado order and get the stuff I need from asda but....

I really want to cut my food expenditure but if asda isnt a lot cheaper I might stick wuth ocado!! (I have a monthly pass so del works out at about 60p)

I dont buy that much branded stuff...only things like tomato sauce, mayo, beans. Cleaning stuff I buy own brand and things on offer...ditto toiletries etc.

I do buy a lot of fresh fruit and veg which costs a fair bit and I try to buy organic/fair trade where I can.

Am just v shocked that asda wasnt a lot cheaper, you know?

Not sure what the point in changing supermarkets is if I wont be saving much and the food quality will possibley be poorer?....

Very interesting. We swapped from dreadful Tescos to Ocado, but I have been feeling fretful about the cost, particularly because I am on Mat Leave.
I went to Aldi yesterday and got some washing powder etc so think I will continue to do that, and use Ocado for fresh food.

My husband has been doing the online shopping because I have been poorly but what are the flash deals? I think I need to take over as it has been coming out quite expensive versus Tesco.

Nannyl the nappies and formula explain it, I spend about £40 per week for my twins. I don't feed them baby food either, I cook all our meals and theirs from scratch except puddings which I'm rubbish at! I probably spend £10 per week on laundry products as well. I usually buy a large free range chicken which can be £10 on its own and does 2/3 meals, a couple of steaks and some nice fish, cheese, loads of fruit and veg, and we often have house guests so it's not hard to get to £100. DH won't eat anything made with mince or anything vegetarian and likes a pudding every night!

this gives you a good ocado deal for the pass.

I dont think there is much point in having a delivery pass to be honest. I've cancelled mine and I get at least one email voucher a week from Ocado offering me between 20 and 25% off my shopping. That never happened when I had a pass.

Or you can just register with two different email addresses and get the best of both worlds....
