I wouldn’t mind if it was click & collect or delivery I would love this. I could order it in the day and collect it after work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tried recently but I could never find a slot. Shoprite would probably do ok with online orders but I would be wary about the shelf life of things from them. Tesco always delivers fruit & veg with an expiry date of either date of delivery or day or 2 later so best leaving it for tinned, toiletries etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re not, if you go to stores you select those with longer shelf life normally 3/4 days soft fruit & longer with other products. The order fillers always use the products with shortest shelf life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get why people can’t use eyes and nose and taste to decide. The only things likely to cause illness in milk is if it contains TB or Brucellosis. Herds are tested and 99% milk is pasteurised. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your nose will tell you if it's iffy. One of my son's throws food out if it's a bloody hour past its sell by date - lunacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
