[Closed] Online shopping and finding a setup that works

I doubt you will get an app to behave specifically in the way you want it to as a single individual. However they are all very good and if you pay for it, you can get 'free' delivery - this works out as very good value for money if you are shopping weekly. Personally we prefer Tesco, Sainsbury is okay, Asda similar and Morrisons is the worst of the lot.

It would be much easier to set up a family shopping list that you both add to, and then at a set time (set a reminder) someone does the shop where you add all the stuff from the list to it. That tech all exists.

Your set-up would be nice but I don't think it exists.

I briefly tried Morrisons online/delivery shopping and lasted 2 weeks before giving up.

I tend to plan weekly menus in the shop having seen what's fresh/on offer etc. Also every little piece of veg or fruit came in individual plastic bags which really wound me up (I think it's an Ocado thing).

I reverted to my usual plan, I get up at 6:45am on Saturday, Morrisons opens at 7am, blast around the store while theyre putting out the fresh deliveries and am at home by 8am to cook breakfast.

I use google shopping list during the week to record things I've run out of (shouting at google home across the kitchen to add things to my list works quite well). Unfortunately Mrs S cant add to my shopping list by voice as it's trained to me. So she has to ask me to ask google. There's obviously a hierarchy in our house. And google is at the top of it.

OCADO/Morrison’s (same process different branding) both do what you want.
Other than the regular delivery spot, nobody does that as far as I’m aware.
But you just book the delivery slot as soon as you’ve had your delivery each week. We do this and always get the same slot pretty much. Half an hour out otherwise.

You can both log in to the same profile on the app (separate phone/tablets/PCs) and add item right up to the cut off point.

It saves a list of your previously bought items for easy access, just tick to buy again. So the more you use it the faster the process is.

The quality of the fresh stuff is way ahead of all the others that use “shop picking” rather than dedicated warehouse deliveries. And the shopping stays in the same tote from being picked to arriving with you, so you get far less (pretty much none) damaged/bruised stuff.

Also every little piece of veg or fruit came in individual plastic bags

Tesco used to give you bags with one or two things in, but now they have an option to have no bags at all. It takes a little longer to unload the shopping at the door, but - no bags!

Ocado lets you reserve a weekly slot (Ocado Reserved). I think you have set it up through the website, I can't see it in the app.

If you log in using the same account you can both change your basket. Just remember to check-out again to save the changes.

Ocado will work - they also have a bar code app so you just scan empty cartons / bottles to add them to the next order.

Thank you - after looking into it that I think that's the closest we'll get. It looks to work by reserving your weekly slot by making a suggested order 6 days in advance - and you simply go in and edit that order before the cut off date. That will work for us.

I have to order at least once before I have the ability to use the reserved option - that's easy.

I want it so we have a weekly delivery slot setup for the same day / time. From here we can then add items to our ‘basket’ at any time until a certain cut off date when whatever is in our basket will be delivered.

We do this. You need a minimum spend to book a slot, but we can achieve this with the basics we buy every week eg loo roll, cat food etc. The wife books the slot quite early and then the day before delivery she fills it up with whatever we've decided to have for meals that week. I then go to the local coop after work for whatever is missing from the order / we've forgotton etc.
