2020 The Year Everyone Went Back to the Kitchen

If I book a slot with Asda I have to spend at least £40. So I have to click on Gin and Whisky. And remember to remove them when I do the real list.

Ah, but do you always remember Goldie?

Love it!😂

I wish we had a Booths close enough to deliver, love some of their own ready meals, nice for a treat in motorhome.

We pop into a Booths when in the neighbourhood, like last year when at Keswick and Settle. Always excellent produce. We even found a couple of ready meals that I could have.

Wish we had one nearby.

Same at Waitrose and that's a very handy hint Goldie, thank you!  They add on another delivery day per day for priority deliveries  but only two weeks ahead if that makes sense. I'm having to go for weekly slots at unearthly hours, I just grab what I see when I remember. We can't just pop into a supermarket here, our local community shop is a good standby but very limited and it can be quite miserable waiting in the rain whilst two shoppers are allowed in per visit. If anyone strikes up a conversation at the till a masked lynch party awaits them outside....

I wish we had a Booths too, but if Booths ever expands it will probably never be as good.

I really wish we had a Booths nearby, love going to the one in Windermere when we are in the Lake District. I never click the substitute button for our click n collect from Tesco, too worried about what I might get sent. Usually works out quite well, except the time I ended up with 18 pints of milk! Just gave some to our daughter. I have never been fortunate enough to get a delivery slot. When it got a little better back in the summer I did shop in store, visiting Tesco at 3pm on a Sunday just before they close is fairly quiet, unless it's a rainy day, then busier. I find I dash around more, with list in hand, no browsing. Cooking hasn't  changed, we rarely have take away, not keen on fish and chips. I like to cook and enjoy the challenge of thinking up recipes to avoid any wastage. Hopefully all this has made more people think about cooking more often.

I fully agree with the praise for Tescos.  Have used them for a weekly delivery since lockdown. On the odd occasion that they have had to substitute we have been delighted with a pricier, similar product but at the cheaper, original cost. Their drivers are happy to chat - suitably distanced and the overall experience is so good that we will keep using them after covid.

Hmm - BC, AD and now PC (post covid) a new time line suffix?

Never had an issue with Tesco substitutes, you don’t have to accept them, and seldom more than a couple if any. We have been Tesco online shopping since it first started years ago, although had a few years break when I finished work, had more time.

I used to have Tesco deliveries when I was working, they were good. I couldn't get back into their delivery service during Covid and so I've settled for Waitrose.

I've just been sorting out one today with my neighbour, thank goodness we can get deliveries over the next few weeks!
