So you may (or may not) be aware of the latest UK supermarket conspiracy (honestly I don’t make this stuff up). The big supermarkets are ripping us off – and that’s a fact because the BBC says so.
Dodgy offers, incorrect pricing – so on and so forth. But we’ve found a new one. Online grocery ordering, with wine. This is a whole snake pit you don’t want to mess with.
Buy one get one free? What the hell buy ten and buy another ten – its easy with a glass of chardonnay in one hand and a mouse in the other. And then three days later this lot turns up…
Who the hell ordered a glass of wine? (Can you spot it? Its like a game of ‘Where’s Wally?)
And where is it all going to go? In the poor , abused fridge of course:
The vegetables suffered terribly in the prison ‘sweat boxes’.
So you see, forget about ‘rip-off Britain’ – what we need to deal with is the evil that is online grocery ordering.
I think I stick to buying food at the local market …
Thats the great thing about Europe – you still have markets – ours have been wiped out by the supermarkets – in fact we have a market from France that comes over and sets up shop in our town every now and then!
Door to door groceries.. that was a service I loved when I was home with a newborn.. but I wasn’t drinking too much wine at the time. Hilarious, I was looking for the wine but didn’t have any luck, I bet you drank it all;)
Its hiding right in the middle….
i feel your pain…glass or three of red wine once caused me to purchase a very fine Time-Life Ballads of the 80′s CD collection once. digitally remastered of course.
Yes wine and itunes can be a bit dangerous too
I could NEVER buy my groceries online.
I have to touch and look at each piece of produce that I buy and could never let “some guy” do it for me !!
I even have to select which caned products I buy !!!!
I do like the idea of shopping while drinking, but we have open container laws here !!!
They deliver it in bags? I guess I would have thought boxes? I’m well warned – *No odering groceries after my second glass!*
Oh, and I’m very impressed at how clean your fridge is… I’d never post ours. O.o
No its all plastic bags over here – very wasteful!
Good grief, you managed to order more in one delivery than we buy in a month!
Yes we do get through it quite fast!
