do you buy groceries online

[obbie]

Does anyone buy groceries online, like Coles or WW.
I am thinking of doing this say one big order once a month.

Then just pick up fruit, veges, milk in between.

It would save me 1 1/2-2 hours per weekend..

I do with WW, what I love is that they they deliver it straight to your bench, if only they put it away for me and then it would be perfect. It does save a lot of time generally about 2 and a half hours

I have a couple of times but then I started to compare the prices in the shop to prices online ( I saved receipts from shopping and went online to check the prices ) and discovered some items can be $1-$2 more expensive online.  If you then factored in the delivery fee, I think I was better off by about $35 by going to the shop.  But I suppose it depends on how you value your time and how far away the shops are, petrol etc.

I did love the service though.  If I was sick or couldn't get to the shops I would definitely use it again

If I worked full-time like you Robyn I would definitely consider it. As it is, I have plenty of supermarkets nearby so can't really justify it. I do use Aussie farmers for weekly milk/bread/juice deliveries though.

I did when my foot was in plaster, was very handy
I still prefer to go in to the supermarket to do my shopping though.

I use Aussie Farmers, no other on line delivery.

Are they good Hally? Do you count this in your $100/ week for food?

[obbie]

Does IGA do online shopping..

Thanks, we have WW 20 minutes from us, plus the roadworks at the moment, so 25 minutes drive each way. 
Then it takes about 20-30 minutes to shop.

Yes I do include my aussie farmers, they are the highest spend for me.

This week I have the veggie box coming, its $26 full of seasonal veg, then on top of that I have ordered fruit & some more veg. Its all australian products, good quality & the seasonal boxes are good value, pick n mix about the same as the supermarket but the boxes are great value. The do fruit, veg & a mixture, I alternate. I costed out a fruit & veg box at the supermarket and it was nearly $20 more.

I get milk, free range eggs etc

Hi Yes I do online grocery shopping regularly, one of the time savers I put in place when I went back to FT work.  I think it is especially good for the bulky items which I hate carrying back from shops and unloading into car, so when I shop online I order the bulky stuff and stock up on the items that are on special.  WW online is the one I use and there is a good search function where you can browse through what is on special in the whole store and I choose those first. Well worth the $5-9 (depending on what your sepnd) for delivery fee.

The catalogue specials are the same in store or on-line and I agree it's very convenient if it's too wet or too hot or I just can't be bothered or one of the kids isn't well so many excuses to shop on-line

Hally, that's interesting about Aussie farmers, I always thought they seemed a little more expensive. We have CERES which is a not for profit envrionment education cetnre and urban farm which now has an organic fruit and vegetable pick up point just near me that I was thinking of trying, but just haven't got around to it yet.

[obbie]

closest Aussie farmers is Brisbane, so my only choice is WW online.

I should try it and compare prices..

It is not available in my area which is a real shame  because I think it would be so handy when I have our third baby in October 

[astarra]

That i a shame bubbles - maybe I had better come and babysit for you when you need to go shopping.     I have never shopped online, but I have a mil and alot of sil's who are always offering to babysit while I go, so I get a time out too.
