I think that supermarket shopping is far superior in the UK compared to what I've experienced in the US.....internet shopping for groceries isn't usually an option and we're in the most heavily populated State (NJ) but one store chain (ShopRite) has recently set up an internet service.....but you order the stuff online and then have to drive to the store to collect your order LOL!

I used Tesco's a few times and I have to admit it was great. I'm in construction/engineering and I remember seeing articles on how in a few years we'd have fridges with a kind of airlock and access using a special key from the outside, so that you could have your groceries delivered while you were out. I dont see that happening here anytime soon :( I guess everyone is happy with drive thru stuff?
