Support with food shopping
Order online - home delivery or click and collect
You can order and pay for your groceries over the internet. You can choose:
- Home delivery - choose a time for your shopping to be delivered to your home
- Delivery charges will apply; these are cheapest during normal office hours or with a 'delivery saver' scheme
- Amazon have partnered up with Morisons to provide online food shopping through the Amazon website or app. If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can get free delivery.
- Click and collect - order your shopping online and choose a time to collect it from the supermarket
- This can be useful if you want to ask a friend, relative or support worker to collect your shopping for you, but don't want to take up too much of their time
- There is a small charge for shopping under a certain amount (you could consider fortnightly shopping instead of weekly)
When you shop online:
- it's easy to see special offers
- you can change your order on the day before your delivery/collection
- you can save your list so you only have to update it next time
Some grocery websites include:
Help using the internet
If you can't use the internet or don't feel comfortable, why not ask family or friends to help or order for you?
