I agree totally. We use it frequently in the uk. Thinking of moving to Ontario which food shopping site would you recommend?

Re: Internet Shopping
 

There is only the one. Link above. And they only service parts of the GTA.

If you choose your location carefully though you find that you'll be outdoors and able to enjoy the beauty of Canada by walking to the shops.

Re: Internet Shopping
 

Getting the staples and the heavy stuff brought to your door means more free time to swank to the local shops and browse. Don't knock it until you've tried it. And I mean from a proper supermarket with choice, not the url you give. That looks like trying to shop in a 7-11 or something :D

I can't say I've ever looked at their products though I assume them to be rubbish; they are the only game in town. What I hate is the vulgarity of it all. If one is going to inconvenience the neighbours by making a show of one's sloth then one should at least have a Harrod's or Fortnum's van block the street.

I have the butler do the shopping, failing that I send the cats out to hunt for fresh meat. :D

Re: Internet Shopping
 

I really miss the internet grocery shopping over here- fortunately if I need to help out parents in the UK I can do the shopping on-line for them -Waitrose, Sainsbury and even Asda now (gone off Tesco BTW with two strange deliveries over-charged etc.)

Wasn't there a survey done before Christmas when it was decided that Canadians actually don't like to shop on-line despite Canada having one of the highest percentage of people with access to the internet? Apparently we like to check things out on the web and then go the store to buy the items.

Re: Internet Shopping
 

Ah Harrods, what a shop that is. They charge you to use the toilets. :sneaky:
It's the little things like this you find out when your OH has the habit of trying out the facilities wherever we go. Two most important things for a day trip "do they have a coffee shop" and "do they have toilets"?

Re: Internet Shopping
 

It's different in North America. Both my OH and my children (who otherwise have very little in common) strongly prefer not to use public facilities. If any of them has to pee I have to find a field.

Re: Internet Shopping
 

Oh no fields are definitely a last resort, i always get the "it's alright for blokes" speech. It's amazing how we can be in close proximity to toilets and no one wants them, get 10 miles up the road in the middle of bloody nowhere then they all want to go.

"picnic plumbing" is the expression used here to deride the convenience of men's equipment.

Re: Internet Shopping
 

I'll have to remember that one. like it. :lol:

Re: Internet Shopping
 

Pardon my ignorance, but how do you do that Liana? Shopping online from here at Waitrose/Sainsbury/Asda, I mean. I've tried surfing the Asda site and can't even find out how to purchase a gift card for someone over there. Thanks for any help.

Re: Internet Shopping
 

Registering doesn't seem to have been a problem-I even send chocolates from Thorntons and gift cards/wine etc from M&S. Asda- I do the shopping for my relatives with their address/cards. Asda is different- have to have the credit/debit card from the same delivery address. Registered for the relatives from over here too, but most of the food shopping goes with Ocado(Waitrose) and Tesco.
Nothing like it here:rolleyes:

Re: Internet Shopping
 

There's nothing slothful about wanting to conveniently buy groceries online and have them delivered. Time is short and I can think of so many other activities that I'd rather be doing that pushing a trolly around a supermarket. We shopped online in England not every week but when it was of benefit for us do so and it was great. Wish we could do it here especially when it's absolutely freezing!

Re: Internet Shopping
 

I suppose not walking to the shops does make time one can use to drive to the gym.
