As Figgs says (or meant to say), Yum, yum! -- Mike Dai Artichoke-Lewis wrote: I used to go to the supermarket across town on my 140 mph production racer motorbike (back when that was *fast*) and bring home a couple of shopping bags full of groceries on it. Then my girlfriend moved in with me and she used to carry them on the back (which was so funny!). Later I used backpacks. I still walk to the supermarket and carry a backpack's worth home, for the exercise, but have been shopping online off and on for close to a decade now. However - as you might reasonably guess, what with my general posting history - I am *very* particular. Probably about everything but especially about food; and with the biker sensibility regarding being ripped off. So basically if the food was crap I wouldn't be buying it - and that applies to nutritional content as well as to more traditional quality. http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/groceries/index.jsp Sainsbury's do annoy the hell out of me at times. Their site seems to be maintained by someone who changes the layout every few weeks as though we go there for entertainment and the point of the site is to show how they 'get' IT. And some weeks ago they dropped Baked In-Store Harvest Grain farmhouse loaves, though they are still available in the actual stores! You'd think they were charged for the site a rate dependent on the number of items on offer. It's bloody well snowing again! Probably tomorrow I'll make the linguini dish I got the wine for (well, after the required 100ml, the rest is fair game for quaffing. In fact I think I'll have a glass before I hit the sack). I've got fan-tailed prawns from Thailand or Mussels from Chile (both from Tesco, actually. Sainsbury's do the Chilean mussels too, but they're half the price in Tesco. And they do a very nice Rustic Multigrain baked in-store loaf). Not sure which to have. Or there's a spaghetti dish with red-wine vinegar and spinach and chilli flakes and pine nuts; won't be having that as didn't get any pine nuts. The linguini uses half-fat creme fraiche, juice of half a lemon, fresh chives. Both recipes use garlic (but just about everything I make contains garlic). The spaghetti dish also uses shaved and grated parmesan, and actually I have quite a lot of that to use up, so I'd better get to the shops some time in the week and get the rest. That is a tasty wine! An online grocery shopping tip for anyone who's interested. Order deliveries for around mid-week. At the weekends the shoppers are likely to be students or other relatively inexperienced types. It is less important if you select 'no substitutes' (That is, if they don't have what you want, they'll give you something similar. Now, if I wanted something else I'd have ordered it in the first place. If they don't have what I want I'll either do without or get what I do want, elsewhere; though 99% of the time they have everything these days anyway); but substitutes or not you're still more likely to get what you want - such as a fresher bag of spuds, say, from a shopper who does it every day. |
