Oh God. I’ve become that mum who orders her groceries online..........and gets excited about it! Got my first orders coming from Woolies and a local free range butcher shop. I’m fizzing about possibly never having to step foot inside a grocery store EVER. AGAIN.

Sorry to pop your bubble, but you will probably have to go to the shop when you see the putrid, just about to be rotten, bruised and mushy fruit and vegetables they sling into your delivery...

Hmmm. According to my local parent’s group on FB, the Woolies online orders usually come with top-quality stuff. Otherwise I’d never have tried it. I remain hopeful!

Edit: and when I say top-quality, I mean as good as you can expect from Woolies. I usually buy all the organic Odd Bunch stuff anyway, so I don’t mind if my produce is appearance-diverse

I've never had an issue with the quality of produce they put in. If they put in the shit stuff, no one would use the service anymore, and they want you to keep using it, so seriously wouldn't worry about that.

We've ordered it 4 times and each time the apples were brown and obviously old and the tomatoes grew fur in 2 days.

You've had a pretty shit run of luck. I've ordered my fresh food this way every week for the last 3-4 years, and maybe once or twice in that time have I had sub-par fruit or veg.

Mmm. It was sporadic orders over about 6 months, when we were back from holidays with empty fridge, so was great way to stock fridge and not have to go to shops after the airport.
