Is there a particular reason why some of you can't just go to the shop like any other time of the year.

Yes.

But no-one has to explain why on GN.

Try reading the whole thread. The answers are there.

I know, and I fell into the trap of explaining, Marydoll.

Then I thought - Why?

Blondiescot, I have a different view - my time is just too precious to spend in supermarkets - so everything's ordered online. I would never shop at Tescos though.

Being housebound I have Sainsburys deliveries and have no problem in booking a slot straightaway three days beforehand and am surprised to learn the trouble in booking with Tesco.
Have never shopped at Tesco. Waitrose is fine but gave up because the branch they source from nearest to me is small and has little choice.

Oh those halcyon days where the checkout queue stretched to the back of our very large Sainsburys! Such larks- you were practically "besties " with the trolley owners in front of and behind you by the end of the 2 hours before walking the mile to the far side of the carpark and sitting in traffic for another hour.
Hmm remind me, what was the question?

effalump 'like any other time of the year' - it's ordered and delivered. I haven't supermarket shopped for a couple of decades - and I hated it back then!

Effalump, I`m unable to get to the shops now, unless I take very expensive taxis, plus I would have great difficulty getting around when I got there. Home deliveries are a blessing.
