Just had mine. Absolutely no room at all left in the freezers!
Should be OK for at least a couple of weeks now.

Nice one. As I said, using a delivery service is fine for the reasons you guys are doing it. It would never work for me, as I'm too much of an impulsive shopper. I take a short list of essentials with me every time I go to a supermarket - items I defo don't want to leave without - and the rest is down what I fancy buying in the spur of the moment!i just managed to procure one
And that's simply down to, physically, what I like the look of, or I 'take a notion' to buying ON THE DAY - neither of which can be done in advance, by looking at a computer screen/clicking a mouse...

Same here Marco,
We go out every day either for a walk or to do a bit of shopping (not only for ourselves, but for my neighbour who can't get out).
If I need to shop I make up a shopping list for essentials, and anything else that "takes our fancy" is bought at the same time.
No doubt in time, for convenience I will have to arrange a supermarket home delivery - but until then we are able manage quite well.

That was handy. I just managed to get signed up for Sainsbury's home grocery deliveries, even though their site was saying no new customers were being taken on. I checked and was offered slot bookings, so I should get them when I need them
Now to see if I can wangle my way into getting ASDA deliveries.
It pays to have options, as they can each be difficult to find delivery slots with.

If you can get in with Asda and sign up for their delivery pass scheme you can book recurring slots, no need to keep checking availability.

I think the Asda website struggles to keep up since the lockdown has increased demand so much.
