Every now and then I decide to do my weekly food shop online – it’s got so much going for it in terms of saving my time and cutting down my car usage.

What puts me off however; is the knowledge that the groceries haven’t been selected for me by their use-by date. If I’m in the store I’m watching those labels like a hawk and it might even affect my choices.

I’m amazed that Waitrose haven’t put two and two together and realised that people who shop online are probably ‘time poor’ and want something that’s going to give back the options.

If I’m going to commit to spending at least £50 (threshold order) with them, I expect something in return – it can’t be that difficult can it?
