Advantages: No heaving heavy bags into the boot and then out and up the drive

Disadvantages: I still spend too much

I am a busy wife, mum to two children still at home, and granny to my eldest's two boys. I also have a demanding job and a dog. I think it is fair to say there aren't enough hours in the day. Shopping takes up an amazing amount of my time, two teenagers and regular visits from two little ones means that I get through an amazing amount of "stuff."

In December I decided enough was enough. Something had to be done and armed with a voucher for a free home delivery I logged on to Tesco.com. How fantastic, I sat drinking a nice cup of tea working through my shopping list and placed my order. Two days later, at a time to suit me, my shopping was delivered. I was impressed. The nice people at Tesco sent me another voucher and so I did another shop two weeks later. Now I am an addict.

I can't say I never pop into the supermarket but the bottles of pop, bags of potates, cans of dog food, washing powder etc are all delivered and if I do go shopping it doesn't weight a ton.

A useful side effect is I am able to keep an eye on what I am spending, it is all added up as I go so I know just what it is going to cost and budgeting has improved as well. Of course I am less likely to impulse buy goodies because it isn't coming immediately so much easier to resist temptation. Good for my other New Year resolution and hopefully means I will lose a few lbs.

Summary: Really useful for busy households or the housebound
