your personal shopper will not gbive a shit how close to the sell by dates the food is, actually.
thats prob grammatically wrong too, but at least its factually correct [wonk]

hahaha! Actually I've found Sainsbury's much better with the sell-by dates than Tesco (stopped ordering from them mainly for that reason)

i found ocado and sainsburys both a bit rubbish for fresh stuff. you cant do a weekly shop coz it all goes off on the same day (unless youre a yoyo dieter, then it might work arf)

i send the housekeeper now, natch

I agree about Tesco. I asked them about it and they assured my that the out of date stuff they had sent me was the freshist they had in store. I pointed out that if this wa the case they were acting illegally. They put the phone down. Great customer relations I thought.

Not really pedantry, but don't you just hate that Sainsbury's slogan that goes 'Your shopping is over; our service goes on.'

Are we meant to weep with gratitude at their selfless shouldering of this burden? Do they want a special wreath of their own at the Cenotaph?
