It doesn't matter how much you love 'recreational' shopping, most of us could do without the hassle of food shopping. There's nothing recreational about battling round the supermarket, accompanied by small relatives who delight in slipping 'stuff' in the trolley, or getting lost, or needing the toilet. Not to mention the occasional husband, who is more likely to be a hindrance then a help. Sticking rigidly to the list is nigh on impossible, even more so these days when supermarkets seem to sell just about everything you ever wanted but didn't really need. In addition, nobody who undertakes the 'big shop' can have failed to notice the rising cost of food. While some products are not included in the recent VAT increase, only foods that haven't been processed in any shape or form qualify as VAT exempt. Try finding 'un-processed' food in a supermarket!

Oh, for a Knight on a Shining, well, Milk Float:

And that's another thing! The desire to feed our family's healthy, good quality produce is greater than ever these days. One trend that is becoming popular is buying fruit and veg from 'box schemes' - but as with the supermarkets, there is often a delivery charge. For those already struggling to keep the household bills under control these delivery charges can be off-putting. However, help is at hand from your local dairy. Facing stiff competition from supermarkets, the good old British Milkman (and woman of course) has diversified. Now delivery services include a range of household essentials, all the little things that we constantly run out of, and spend our lunchtimes trying to stock up on. From the obvious products, like milk, yogurt, cheese and cereal, to the less obvious such as cleaning products and kitchen foil.

Many dairies have now added to this a fruit and veg delivery service. From single items through to an excellent range of veg boxes; the convenience that your milkman can offer far out performs any other fruit and veg delivery service. Then there is the icing on the cake (if you've run out of that they probably stock it) the best bit about this service is that there is no delivery charge! Unlike the supermarkets and other delivery services, the chances are that you are already on a milk round and it is for this reason that the dairies can offer these fantastic and cost saving, services.

Fitting in that Five a Day:

Looking at the range available you'll soon see that fruit and veg delivery services via your milkman are highly competitive. The lack of delivery charge is, of course, what gives them the edge. At the same time the products themselves are sensibly and competitively priced. You can order as little or as much as you like, allowing you to ensure you're stocked up on fresh, good quality fruit and veg every day of the week. The flexibility of the service is great, allowing us to fit into our increasingly busy lives, a simple, cost effective solution to making sure our families stand a chance of getting those 'five a day'!
