I Heart e-Shopping!

*the word 'heart' = love. one of the blogging-jargons I've learned lately :) *

Shopping could never be so much easier, particularly for groceries!! How come I have never ever opted for this option before, even though I knew of its existence way back before I was born?! Geez, I am sooooooooo thick! Now that the bus company has profited from my hard-earned wages (£1.50/trip and only Buddha knows how much they have blood-sucked me for the past 8 months) and not to mention great amount of energy has been wasted on dragging the carrier bags all the way from the bus-stop to my front door. I hate it every time I go for my weekly stock replenishment.

Having to live under the rock for almost 25 years, my judgment has been clouded by my conservative perception that online shopping is not trustworthy, and that privacy will be breached by third party one way or another. Maybe back home, it might be the case, the chances of being cheated are much higher, but here in the UK, I figured out it’s a lot safer.

I usually get my groceries from Tesco. Due to some reasons I decided to shop online instead of me going to Tesco personally. So here are the steps to hassle-free shopping guide.

First, is to log on to Tesco’s website.

Then book a delivery slot. Each slot is priced differently.

For example, weekend will cost more than weekdays. So for me I choose the time slot based on the price, would not want to pay for anything extra, not even a penny extra. After deciding on the time and day, the slot is then reserved for me for the next 2 hours while I do my shopping.

There’ll be a drop-down list by clicking Food & Drink.

So now I can start my shopping by browsing through the categories and pick the items I need. :) By selecting a particular item, it will be added automatically into the shopping basket.

Done with the shopping? Then I’ll just need to view my basket and confirm the items I have selected. If everything’s fine then I can proceed to checkout where I will be asked to confirm my details and most importantly PAY.

Then that’s it, it’s done!!

All I need to do is to wait for the delivery guy to send me my groceries.

See? No more hassles, no more struggling with the carrier bags, and I get my stuff without having me to step an inch out of the house. Isn’t that great???!!!

I love Tesco Online!!!

P/S: Just to clarify, I only e-shop for groceries. When it comes to clothes and footwear, I still prefer to visit the outlet myself.
