Like most people on the planet it seems, I am a very time poor individual. I am at work by 6.30am and don't get home until 4.00pm or after on most days. Once at home, I need to wind up for the taxi service for the kids' sporting commitments, organise dinner and so on. Then on the weekends, lots of time is committed to the kids' sporting commitments again, just in time to hit Sunday night to collapse into bed and start it all again the next week.
Sound familiar?
I don't begrudge doing any of what I have just relayed, and as such, I am always on the lookout for ways to save some precious time. This is why I am so surprised that I had not discovered online shopping before!
Sure, I am familiar with eBay and the like, I have been using the Internet to make purchases for years. I saw an ad on TV the other week for online supermarket shopping, and thought I would give it a go - what could it hurt? If I didn't like it, I have lost nothing.
About 30 minutes later, the weekly shopping was done and my delivery window booked for the next day. I was like a kid on Christmas Eve waiting for the delivery to see if it met all the expectations the online supermarket had set.
On time the next day, the shopping was delivered. Everything was there, the frozen goods were frozen, the bread packed separately, the fruit and veg were as I would have chosen in the supermarket and, oh, did I mention that they also delivered beer?
No standing in the checkout line, no dodgy shopping trolleys, no having to drive there and back so no car park hassles - this seemed too good to be true! So I gave it another go - same results, but this time, the eggs arrived with all 12 in the carton intact.
I am now officially hooked and I would estimate that online shopping saves me at least two to three precious hours a week Two hours a week to mow the lawns and do the multitude of other little jobs around the house which have been neglected - much to the other half's delight.
Thank you Woolworths Online, you are a time saver without doing someone out of a job - I cannot recommend you highly enough!
Until next time,
CfB
