Day 4:Embrace technology
The feeling you get from shopping, tasting and touching can’t be substituted, but shopping online certainly saves time! New research forecasts that UK consumers will be spending £7.2 billion on food and grocery shopping online by 2014. That’s nearly double the figure for 2009, when 13% of adults shopped online for groceries, and an increase of 63% on 2006. All of the major supermarkets offer this facility and it is ideal for your monthly or bi-monthly order of food and non-food items. With your ‘favourites list’ set up it only takes a few clicks and, in what seems like no time at all, your planned and organised (see Day 2) order arrives. Even better, more recently, all the major players now offer phone applications to manage the whole shopping process right down to selecting delivery slots, so you can start your order on the move from your phone and complete it from your desktop computer; although apparently the new Tesco iPhone app is good enough to do the entire weekly grocery shop from your bed! You can even use your phone to scan in barcodes so that you will never be able to forget that favourite bottle of wine or gluten-free curry that you enjoyed a few weeks back!
