Hi, Kerry; I'm physically disabled and can't get to the shops, and live with my elderly parents who are vulnerable and self-isolating. As the only way we can get regular shopping is online, I just want to thank you for your kind attitude in feeling 'guilty' (your words!) in not shopping online when you can get to the shops. Wish there were more Kerry's in the world! I actually grabbed a slot quite easily today, so thank you for sacrificing your chance of booking one to make people's lives like mine easier! Love watching you and your gorgeous family. Much love xx 🌈

I am so glad you got a slot today.. they seem VERY difficult to get and I actually quite enjoy taking an hour out to myself to do our weekly shops in store.. I’m just quite rubbish at not picking up a million extras!! Haha!! I hope you are ok and coping with the situation.. it’s such a funny time at the moment.. makes everything so confusing for everyone.. sending lots of love xxx

Ocado are making provision for vulnerable people and N H S staff and still manage to get slots for their longtime customers, other supermarkets could learn a lot from them, it's easy to judge people but my neighbour who doesn't drive is shopping on line and gets slots but is shopping for 3 people who are sheilded, not everyone is out for themselves.
@christinejenkins71924 жыл бұрын
Hi Kim, I dont know who you shop with but I know Sainsburys have been prioritising slots for the vulnerable too. You can contact their customer services by telephone to register with them. I think you can then book a slot once a week.

Food is just soooo much more expensive at the moment, we're eating the same amount but I find we're spending much more. I don't think there are as many deals on the shelves at the moment, and also we're having to buy higher end items because the cheaper ones we usually buy are out of stock!
@KerryWhelpdale4 жыл бұрын
YESSS.. I couldn’t agree more.. I think you are right about the offers not being on.. I guess they don’t have to be on as everyone will just buy whatever.. our food bill is so much more each week! Xxx

Hey, one of my fave types of videos. Yea we r spending a lot more but I think it’s because we r home so eat as and when as opposed to set amount of food everyday. And also it’s something to do. And also we r making more food from scratch so healthier and also more fruit and veg etc xx

You spent more because it was Waitrose. We shopped at Waitrose when lockdown happened as it is just down the road from us, but we found we were spending so much more and getting so much less for our money. So we have gone back to Aldi. Also Aldi has a great cleaning station outside their store and a traffic light system at the door which is so good. I love your recipe ideas.❤
@KerryWhelpdale4 жыл бұрын
Yes I agree.. Waitrose is much more expensive.. I’m going to go back to Tesco and aldi this week I think.. even though we are spending less on everything else, my food shop bill keeps rising and I can’t justify that! Xxx

Hi Kerry. Just wanted to update you on my Tom Yum soup!!! I made it following your recommendation and advice on one of your last videos. And omg, it was absolutely amazing. Me and my partner, who isn’t keen on Asian food, ate it all! So happy and glad to put it into our meal plan again. I make this soup called Tom Kah, also thai, and think your family would love it. The pastes are easily available online, and you can put whatever you like it in (I like chicken/ leftover chicken) and whatever veg I have lying around. My 2 year old loves it. Just a thought. Thank you for helping to get our family through this different time xxx

You’re so considerate about online shopping. Love Waitrose unfortunately can’t shop there very much as it so expensive. Waitrose is also our nearest supermarket all the other supermarkets are so packed . The queueing up is mad it’s just all manic. Going to try the tortilla dip sounds amazing. The melon you’re so funny... I’m sure it’s a Cantelope.

Oh I know the queuing everywhere is crazy! That’s another reason I go to Waitrose as the queues there are really small.. but I agree.. it’s so expensive :( haha you know when I film these videos I forget what everything is called!!

I've been shopping at Waitrose too, they have been great. Thanks for the meal ideas for my next trip. The shopping list stresses me out, I only like to go once a week and worry I will forget something. We are definitely spending more money than usual on food shopping but in the long run I think we are saving because there is no eating out. X
