The local Tesco express is not much better.

I sometimes try compiling a shopping list from the Sainsbury's online website and then sending my other half to the store which is less than a mile away. Nine times out of ten several of the items I have chosen will have never been heard of in our local store. So if I was having them delivered and they were picking from my local store what would I get in their place?**
More than just supermarkets sell food on line.
Even Waitrose (via Ocado) doesn't stock all I need.

I have 'exotic tastes' too.
I buy coconut oil Raw Food Shop - UK Online supplier of superfoods & raw ingredients
Organic bread, biscuits, and chemical free household cleaners Grocery from GoodnessDirect
Toiletries Dr Bronner's - Natural Health Welwyn

There are several on line sellers of veg boxes and meat packs (including game meat)

**When you shop online from a grocer such as Sainsburys they select your order from the warehouse, not your local store.
