Annual supermarket delivery pass without minimum order?

14 replies

PeekabooPoo · 27/11/2017 00:19

I do one big shop a week, but often need to top up on milk/bread/etc half way through the week.

Is there a supermarket where I can prepay for an annual delivery pass where they will deliver a small shop (say under £10) for free or do all of them have a minimum delivery charge?

I doubt it, as it wouldn’t be financially viable for the supermarket, but I’m happy to be corrected.

Surely your best bet would be just to look online and check each stores policy? There can’t be that many who would deliver to you.

I am in the same situation and would love this too! Wish they would. Was thinking about splitting my weekly shop into two halves so I could have a midweek delivery, but too much thinking required 😬

I know milkandmore (dairy crest people i think) can do adhoc bits and pieces. It does cost more though but youll get the items on days that they could deliver your milk.

This might sound obvious but can't you just order extra bread, milk etc with a delivery once a week? Most supermarkets do Stayfresh bread that stays fresh for over a week.

I just split mine. Staples like nappies, wipes, alcohol, cleaning products, toilet roll, pasta, cereal etc are all bought with the midweek bread / milk / fruit shop to top it up to £40 for free delivery (Sainsburys)

I just put milk and bread in the freezer so there’s always enough.

Sorry not sure about anyone delivering such small amounts.

Janice I need to channel you 😊

If you have a big enough fridge and freezer, just buy filtered milk (lasts over a week if you don't open it), freeze extra bread and eat the soft fruit first (apples, oranges etc will last a week).

If you don't have the storage, it's more of a problem and you'll need to faff around with two smaller shops.

No, I really wish this existed too but it doesn't.

AdoraBell · 28/11/2017 11:18

I use Sainsbury. Midweek deliveries and I think the minimum is about £40. Their website will show the details, I can’t really remember as my order never comes in under sixty quid.

AdoraBell · 28/11/2017 11:23

Sorry, pressed post too soon.

I don’t know of any that will do a delivery for £10. Sainsbury’s minimum amount for delivery is £25, and then they charge £7.

As others have said, if you do most of the shopping in one go it will be easier for the delivery.

tribpot · 28/11/2017 11:25

I don't think so - I use a number of supermarket delivery services and they all have a minimum spend of £40.

I would do as Janice suggests and just split the shops so that the midweek one includes some non-perishable stuff to bring it up to 40.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 28/11/2017 11:26

I don't do a big shop; I shop for about four days at time, have a Tesco pass that delivers over £40.

It means we rarely need to do expensive top ups for fresh stuff.

PeekabooPoo · 28/11/2017 12:50

Hmph, I guess I understand why they don't do it. May try splitting into 2 shops
