- Hi guys so today is my first ever grocery haul,
and it's also the first time that I've food shopped online.
I have meant to do this for ages, but I never get organized.
But now that I have a five year old and a two year old,
shopping is getting really difficult,
and when I go shopping with just my two year old, he runs
up and down the aisles and he knows exactly
where the sweets are.
So he will run to the sweet aisle and demand a Kinder egg.
So it's getting really hard and he refuses
to get in the trolley.
So I end up trying to carry him around.
And now that I'm four months pregnant,
it is just not an option
to carry him and it's just all getting too stressful.
Something really had to change so when Tesco contacted me
and asked if I wanted to try out their new
Delivery Saver service, I jumped at the chance.
In this video I'm going to talk about my experience
with the service and then I'm gonna show you everything
that I got for this week.
So Tesco's new delivery saver program is a subscription
delivery so you pay a small monthly charge,
and you get all of your shopping delivered
for the month, for free.
You can order as many times as you need to,
and it can be across all of their estate.
So it can be Tesco's, it can be Tesco's wine,
it can be F&F Clothing, it can even be Tesco's direct.
You can order anything from any of those.
As a mom, it is great because if you forget
to order something or you decide to entertain halfway
through the month, you can order more food,
and ultimately, over the course of the year,
it will save you a lot of money and, if it doesn't,
Tesco's will even refund the difference to you
in the form of vouchers.
You can also try out the service for one whole month
to see if you even like it in the first place.
So I'll leave the details down below.
I went online and ordered all the food
that I needed for the week.
I did it at night when the boys were in bed, and I had
a cup of tea, and it was a much more relaxing experience
than what I have been used to.
I ordered it for the next day and, although I booked
the seven to eight o'clock slot, it literally
came at seven o'clock on the dot.
The delivery driver was so nice.
He brought everything right into my kitchen,
and he talked me through the receipt and the products,
and he said if I wanted him to take anything back
he'd be happy to.
So it was a really good experience.
Now, I'm gonna show you what we got for our family of four.
Pretty average normal people that try to eat kind of healthy
but not over the top healthy.
Right, so this is all of my shopping laid out.
Excuse the lighting but it's nighttime.
I had it delivered between seven and eight so that
the boys would be in bed.
This is the first time I've ever lined it all up like this.
It looks like so much, and this will probably only last us
about a week and a half.
But, I'll talk you through what we got.
Start with the fruit and veg, I think.
So we've got some baby spinach.
I've been getting quite in to smoothies and juicing,
and trying to have some spinach because it's great
for when you're pregnant.
To juice it, I don't think I'd ever eat like a spinach salad
but this is great as well because my youngest
son will have a spinach smoothie and so then I just think
he's got a bit of his veg.
Then I got some strawberries, I actually ordered a 600 gram
punnet of strawberries, but because they didn't have it,
they replaced with 800 grams for the same price.
So it's quite good that if you have to have a replacement,
they replace up so you get more.
And some raspberries and also some blueberries.
We have a lot of these berries in the morning as a family,
and my husband and I have raspberries and blueberries on
protein pancakes or in porridge a lot.
And the boys love strawberries, so we got those.
Got four red grapefruits.
My husband has these in the morning and Caleb loves to
lick them as well (laughs) so we've got those.
Got some lemons because I've been drinking loads
of lemon water while I've been pregnant.
Got Golden Delicious apples, these are my favorite apples
so we got 12.
They're perfect for juicing and the boys really like
the taste of them.
We normally get Golden Delicious or Gala apples.
Some celery sticks and some carrot batons.
And I've really got these for the boys, but I also got these
to serve with hummus.
We've got some friends coming over for a little bit
of like nibbles for Easter.
So, I've got those for that as well, and I also got
the breadsticks for that.
Last for the fruit and veg is our olives.
I've just got the really basic pitted olives
because we throw these into pastas.
So as I've just said, we're entertaining over Easter.
Just literally like nibbles and drinks and stuff,
so I've got some things.
I hope my friends don't see this because I feel like this
is like a really cheap option,
but all the kids will love it.
I got two packs of mini pizzas and chicken bites,
some springs rolls, cocktail sausages which I do
with a maple syrup sauce and they're really delicious.
I've got some Shloer for me so I've got a fizzy drink.
Pringles and then some more crisps.
I've got Kettle crisps, salt and vinegar,
and these pretzels my boys love.
They're the sour cream and chive pretzels.
Then breadsticks, hummus as I said.
Moving on to like the pantry stuff that I got.
I got some more extra virgin olive oil.
This stuff's really really good and it was on special,
so I got that.
This is our favorite pasta sauce.
It's Loyd Grossman tomato and chili,
and that was on special as well, so I got two of those.
Because I like to stock up when they're half price.
Then I got a pasta bake which is creamy tomato
because these are just great to have in the cupboard
to do up for the boys and stuff.
Then I got some almond butter.
We just get the Meridian.
And I've got some hollandaise sauce because we've got
the long weekend coming.
I was thinking we'll do eggs benedict, we've got that.
We've got some green pesto for like a chicken and
mozzarella pesto dish that I do.
Then we've got four cans of tuna in oil.
This is for our tuna pasta.
I normally buy the pack of four, but the individual ones
were on special so I got four individual ones.
Then I've got two Pizza Express margherita pizzas.
These are the boys' favorite and they were on special.
And they're just really handy to have in the fridge for
lunches or dinners or if I've run out of food when we're
entertaining then I can just put these in.
The boys dinner that I cook with some tortellini.
I love tortellini because it only takes three minutes
to boil and it's just a really good one to quickly
feed the kids.
So I've cheese and ham tortellini.
In terms of meat, we're not vegetarian in this house.
So I've got some meat.
I've got some turkey mince, turkey mince and it's 2%.
So I'm gonna make chili with that, turkey chili.
Got some Richmond sausages because those are
the boys' favorites sausages.
Some bacon medallions for our eggs benedict.
Some salmon filets again for one of our dinners.
I'm trying to be healthier.
And then we've got some smoked salmon because when we've
got friends over I'm planning on doing Philadelphia
and salmon with lemon and pepper on rye bread.
So loaf of rye bread for that, for when we're entertaining.
I've got some Hovis whole meal for all of us.
Some free range British eggs.
And then in terms of dairy, I actually ordered
one large milk, but as I said they substitute up and they
must have been out so they sent me three little ones.
So that's fine.
Got some almond milk for my smoothies.
I've got two packs of Frubes for the boys.
I freeze these and they have them as like lolli's
to be honest, so I'm going to freeze all of those.
Then I've got some yogurts for them.
I've got the Little Yeos.
I got two packs of those.
I've got some really basic mozzarella
for our chicken pesto mozzarella dish.
Some medium cheddar cheese, and we go through cheese
like crazy in this house.
And I've got some mini custards for the boys like
puddings and stuff, Caleb loves this.
Got some Crispy Mini Weetabix for Caleb so I'm gonna try
and change up his breakfast a little bit.
Got a cupcake mix for the boys because that is just
quite handy to have in the cupboard and we've got
a long weekend coming so I thought we could
make that together.
I've got two teas because I've been drinking lots
of herbal tea while I've been pregnant.
So I got cherry and cinnamon
and a calming camomile and spiced apple.
Snacks for the boys.
I've got some flavored rice cakes for Caleb; I've got apple
rice cakes and apple and raspberry rice cakes.
I've got some mini packs of breadsticks because these
are just so handy to throw in the baby bag
when we're going on days out.
Green pouches from Ella's Kitchen.
Caleb is two and a half but he eats these as a snack.
And then I also got some pears.
I've got four of the pear ones
because these are his favorite and they're also great
say, if he wasn't regular or something,
you could give him that.
Got some raisins because he loves raisins.
Two packs of smoothies for the boys.
These are the peach flavored, their favorite.
These they probably will have after the school run.
They like to have that as snack so I've got those.
And I've got two sets of sauces because
when they have pudding like ice cream,
they like to put sauce on top.
So I've got toffee and the milk chocolate one.
A snack for me, I've got the naked bars.
I thought I'd try the berry ones.
These are for me to take to work because
there are biscuits at work and sometimes I eat them.
So I'm trying to avoid that with this.
And then I've got some creme eggs just
for a treat and stuff.
I did get all of the boys other Easter eggs already,
but I thought I would get these for the weekend as well.
So thank you so much for watching.
I'll leave all the details below for the new
Tesco Delivery Saver program and don't forget
to like, comment, and subscribe,
and I'll see you very soon.
Bye!
