I tend to do a midweek fresh food top-up (there are two decent mini-markets in King's Cross station, on my way home) and/or visit the Saturday market in my town.
Plus, the whole process takes half the time a physical supermarket shop takes, and is infinitely more civilised.

We have a Monday and a Friday Ocado delivery. Works wonderfully. I like that I can plan the menu plus I get suckered in by flash sale stuff. This normally results in me buying stuff I wouldn't normally buy simply because it is "too big" for two. So sometimes it is 50% off a rather large corn-fed chicken and that becomes two meals ie a spit roast and then cold chicken and coleslaw and chips. I wish I weren't drawn by the flash sale ... but I am just an opportunist.
I like that refunds for stuff is so easy. So when they crush the bread by throwing the charlottes on top I don't pay. They don't learn ... and I don't pay. Because of proper planning and decent prices I'm convinced shopping with Ocado saves us a bunch. And it's great for those deliveries planned whilst away for our return.
They have also started to import some great stuff. I am totally in love with their new rendang sauce pouches for example. I am using it twice a week currently ... and the best is rendang pork balls. I know I shouldn't but I cannot stop myself. In fact we have it today .....
ps Stut ... I use to go to school at The Angel and lived off Old Street now called grandly The Barbican!
