I read that too - more competition=more generous offers

Last week I used Sainsburys (free delivery midweek on £100+)
Ocado have noticed my absence and sent me mail offering 10% off if I buy this week.

I don't need a delivery until next week, but, from past experience, I will likely get mail offering 15% off next week.

It is reaching a level where more people are realising that visiting a store is uneconomic.

There are those who say that they prefer to choose their own fresh produce to ensure freshness. I can see their point, but if freshness standards are not met (as they weren't when I got a putrid chicken from Asda), then people vote with their feet(keyboards) and they lose custom, as Asda lost mine.
