Can I edit the lists?
Most of the lists (unless otherwise stated) are for a family of four. You can easily change them for more or less people.
You can also make the lists your own to suit the needs of your family. For example, my son hates quinoa so I always add some rice for him.
I have included all the spices and sauces you need in each recipe (apart from olive oil) but you will probably want to remove those you already have. Otherwise, you could end up with a cupboard full of cumin!
Can I add multiple lists at once?
Once your lists are loaded up, you can add as many as you want in a single shop.
I have a list of ‘essentials’ such as milk, eggs, bread that I add to every shop.
For example, you could add a list for weeknights, the essentials list and the Italian Dinner Party list.
Why Ocado?
When I did my research and staterd shopping in this way, I was unable to find any other online supermarket that offered the option of having saved lists
Can I order a few weeks in one go?
Once your lists are added, you can literally do your shopping in two minutes. I have done my weekly shop on the tram, at half time during my son’s football match and while walking to down the street.
However, my favourite way of doing my shopping is to order several weeks in one go. I have a regular delivery slot and spend about half an hour ordering a different list for each week in one sitting. I then don’t need to even think of shopping. It just arrives like clockwork on a Sunday evening.
Is there any flexibility?
Most of the lists contain four or five meals. This is because we like to have some more flexibility at weekends. We use the lists during the week but then weekends are for what we fancy on the day.
Let me know if you would like lists with more meals!
