As i mentioned in a previous post, when i did my first online food store, it might be my regular way of doing my weekly food shopping. And then going to a nearby store to buy extra things i forgot to buy or fresh produce which is cheaper in “real food stores”, or just when i get cravings for something!!
And i think that online food shopping might be the new thing for me as i don’t have any large food store nearby and it would just be a hassle to do small rounds of food shopping several times a week – not to mention, most likely alot more expensive.
Saturday evening my weeekly food shop arrived, which i was so thankful for because i was tired and didn’t have much food at home, so was great that i knew i could just wait for my food arrival from Mat.se!
Onto my actual weekly shopping….. I decided to stock up on oatmilk, frozen vegetables and tofu and then buy some heavy items which last a long time i.e flour, sugar and corn flour. I don’t use those 3 ingredients so often in my cooking, but it is always good to have at home example if i want to bake or if i want to make scones then having flour at home is great, or even for pancakes!
Also, as you can see i bought ALOT of frozen vegetables…. i saw it more as an investment. That buying a large 1kg pack is alot cheaper than small 250-500g packs, however i also overestimated how much space i have in my freezer and i had to squeeze it all in…. barly able to close my freezer after hahah. Already had some frozen vegetables in the freezer and had just bought 4 packages of Frys products at the Vegofair, so had to take a package of frozen veggies out and keep it in the fridge (which i would eat within the next 48 hours!).
Buying in bulk like this is cheaper over time as the milk, frozen veggies and dry ingredients will last longer than a week and is good to always have at home!!!

Loved looking through the link of the food store at all the products you could buy – some of the brands I recognised as having here but totally new food items! For example, we have Findus products here but have never seen the wok mixes!
I think its a good idea to buy in bulk where you can as it definitely works out cheaper in the long run and its always handy to build up a store cupboard of the basic staple things. I generally always have a supply of flour/dried goods/ canned tomatoes and frozen veggies.
Do you have a minimum “spend” for delivery or do you have to pay to have your shopping delivered? Here it averages around £40.00 for free delivery otherwise they charge you.
