Quite Impressed with Tesco Woosh
Other
I fancied a takeaway but the takeaway I've used for years I will no longer use. The last takeaway I had from them was appalling quality and despite being one blip over many years I just can't use them ever again. So I decided instead to use Tesco Woosh for a treat. You pay 2.99 for delivery and packing and they deliver within an hour. You don't get the full selection of Tesco goods but there are some good offers mixed in for Clubcard members and I got a lot of stuff including the treat food I wanted for the same money as a takeaway would cost me except of course I had to heat it myself but the value was far, far higher.
I'm now thinking I may not use a takeaway ever again but instead do a supermarket mini shop like this.
If I had driven to the supermarket it would have likely cost me somewhere between 1-2 pounds in petrol plus my time for going in. 2.99 doesn't seem unreasonable. I ordered about 8 items but it looks like you could have ordered over 30 items but remember the selection is more limited and some pricing is more expensive. It is a mixture of normal price stuff, special offers and some items that have inflated prices compared to normal. Nothing I ordered was over priced it was either Clubcard pricing or normal pricing.
Lots of supermarkets do this sort of service but its normally through a delivery service like just eat or deliveroo. I've looked at those and the prices of the stuff I wanted was far higher and delivery costs ended up being more. Tesco Woosh is through the Tesco site itself.
Personally I can see these services eroding normal takeaway business a lot.
Anyone done the same and replaced takeaway orders with mini supermarket shops?
What I bought below. The treat I fancied was sausages in bread with some ketchup and some chocolates afterwards. This wasn't of course eaten in one sitting unlike a takeaway. It will be sometime before all of this is consumed. I had 3 sausages and 3 slices of bread.

Thanks for letting us know, I didn’t realise you can order 30 items. I had assumed it was just a couple of items. I will certainly consider using whoosh.
