Cheap online supermarket deliveries: monthly delivery passes are key
If you regularly do your grocery shopping online, it's vital you track down the cheapest supermarket delivery deals or you'll end up wasting a load of cash.
Our guide explains how to do just that and covers all the main supermarkets, including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Ocado and Iceland.
But before your scroll to your favourite store, please note some supermarkets have reported a sharp spike in demand for online deliveries due to the second lockdown, so you may have to wait longer to book a slot at some stores.
The increased demand is being driven by people worried about stock shortages seen when lockdown was first introduced earlier this year.
While we can't help you jump the queue, you can at least ensure you pay the lowest possible price for your delivery, whenever that may be.

Top tips for saving on all online grocery shopping
1. Sign up for emails with all of the supermarket websites, even if you don't intend to shop with them straight away.
Like all retailers, supermarkets often send out discount codes (such as 15% off your shopping) to entice us to shop with them, which will usually more than cover the delivery charge.
2. Switch around. Never use the same delivery service twice in a row. Supermarkets tend to ignore loyal customers and send their best deals to those who haven't used their service for a while – make them stew and watch the offers roll in!
3. Complain, complain, complain. If there is anything at all wrong with your shopping (late delivery, damaged fruit or vegetables, items too close to their sell-by date, dented tins) don't just accept it, phone up and tell them.
Most customer service managers are keen that you enjoy the service and will often replace or simply refund your money, straight away.
What's more, depending on the problem many will issue credit notes too, giving money off your next delivery (which may cover that delivery fee!).
4. Check prices. Depending on what you buy you could still end up spending more at different supermarkets, even if your delivery costs nothing.
5. Don't forget Click & Collect. A number of supermarkets offer Click & Collect services, where you order in advance and simply have to pick up the shopping, which is already bagged up and ready for you.
UK supermarket chain Asda has increased its weekly home shopping slots by 300,000 in the last fortnight, according to CEO Roger Burnley.
In his latest email to customers, Burnley said the grocer had been 'working around the clock' to expand online delivery operations, and the recent addition of slots has taken Asda's capacity to 700,000 a week.
However, he added that demand for delivery is still 'very high and we recognise that not everyone will be able to get a slot'.
The UK supermarkets have been ramping up their eCommerce operations and home delivery functions in response to a huge spike in demand as the Covid-19 coronavirus took hold across the nation. Grocers are among the limited number of retail businesses allowed to stay open, with much of the UK in lockdown to stop the spread of the virus.
Sainsbury's said it will have around 600,000 weekly slots available by the end of this week – an increase of circa 230,000 in 14 days – while Tesco is now offering 780,000, which is 120,000 more than a fortnight ago. That means between the three largest grocers in the UK alone there are now over two million weekly delivery and click & collect slots available for consumers – in addition to capacity increases by the rest of the sector.
'We want to ensure that the 700,000 deliveries we make every week are going to those who are most in need and who shouldn't be leaving their house,' Burnley explained.
'That's why I would ask that where possible, if you are able to go to one of our shops, to please do so. Whilst we are all being urged to stay at home as much as possible, the government guidelines do not restrict you from travelling to a supermarket to buy what you – or others - need.'
The government has identified over one million people in England who have conditions that make them extremely vulnerable to Covid-19 and who have been advised to self-isolate at home for 12 weeks to protect themselves.
That data has now been shared with the UK supermarkets, which are working together to ensure those who are most vulnerable receive the best access to home delivery slots.
