Ocado - it's a good thing!

For at least the past two months we've been getting our groceries delivered to our flat. It took us a while to start shopping this way, but since we have it's been one of the best decisions we've made here so far. Before grocery delivery we would make a weekly trek of about a mile to the huge grocery store "near" our flat and then lug everything we bought home. By the time we were home we were exhausted and sore from the journey. We would set out on the trip trying to be very strategic about what heavy (aka. beer, wine, sparking water) items we bought knowing that we'd have to carry it all, but inevitably we would over-buy in this category and be cursing each other the whole way home. I don't know if we would order our groceries if we had a car, but without a car it's a great thing! We still end up going to the store as well for the things we forgot to order or when we've changed our minds about what sounds good for dinner, but all in all I'm a fan!
