For the past 18 months or so we've had a delivery every Saturday at 14:00 with the week's stuff, with additional ones at Christmas.
We usually sign up to a plan with Tesco that means we don't pay for each delivery. With the plan we can also do a click and collect if we want, which sometimes suits as the threshold is lower. Been doing it on and off since 2014 so SWMBOs FB says.
Under the plan, I remember timing a Tesco delivery for 2 hours after our arrival time to a slightly remote holiday chalet in Cornwall years ago with our provisions for the week, also a delivery to an upper storey flat in Edinburgh where there was no lift during a Fringe visit about 4 years ago.
I love that I don't have any of the hassle of visiting the supermarket - the time it takes, busy roads, busy car parks, other shoppers, queueing at tills (though we use self scanning whenever we do go, which is usually much quicker), someone else lugs it around for me, and it's delivered to exactly where I want ( - at the moment, into the garage, where it remains untouched for three days minimum except frozen and fridge stuff which goes into the garage fridge freeze, or anything required more urgently which gets appropriate treatment before use!).
We have occasional problems with items, like the parsnips being the wrong size (SWMBO is a greengrocers daughter and fussy!), or once in a while an item becoming Not Available after order, and no suitable substitution supplied.
But we've also had bonuses e.g. I ordered a big box of dates the other week but they were OOS on the say so they substituted with 2 packs of Finest and matched the price, but it was still only half the weight so I mailed them and they refunded the lot. Also the cost of two bottles of prosecco was knocked off once because the driver was a few minutes late - he volunteered it, I didn't ask!!
I suppose I would say that as a result we tend to eat similar stuff all of the time so we may miss out on a spontaneous "treat". OTOH we do not do impulse buying, and I think we probably have less food waste as you have to plan ahead a bit more.
I do occasionally visit other places, especially Lidl, for stuff which I can't get on my order, though hardly ever in lockdown. And outside lockdown we go to Tesco sometimes just for a look round.
On the whole I like it and we will stick with it now.
