Tesco's online ordering service is excellent particularly for all those boring bulk drink and household domestic products such as bottles of mineral water or fizzy drinks, loo rolls and washing powder. What a joy not to have to go shopping for these, load them in and out of the car and then put them away. Ok you still have to put them away but they'll be delivered to your door within a selected two hour time slot.

As usual you need to check via your post code on the website that they deliver in your area and then register. The part that usually holds people back is creating your 'favourites' list but once done you never have to repeat the exercise and everything you order automatically gets added to your list. The easiest way of doing it is to write out your shopping list and then key each item in to search. The more exact your description, such as 'Pledge clean and dust', rather than just 'polish' the quicker you will get to your desired product.
