CAN YOU SAVE MONEY GROCERY SHOPPING THROUGH UBER EATS?! | BUDGET FOOD SHOPPING HACKS

Hey Everyone,
If you are new here then welcome!! If you are a regular viewer then you'll know I have two young children and live with my partner Matt and our dog Bear and we are always on a mission to save money on our weekly food shop.
I stumbled across something super random the other day - FRESH MONDAYS with UBER EATS. I had never heard of this concept before but wanted to give it a try to see if it really would save us money on our weekly fruit and veg.
So the concept is simple.. every Monday UBER EATS offers 50% off supermarket fruit and veg if you buy through the app. We used Waitrose as that's our local store but it's not limited to just this supermarket. Depending on where you live the app will offer you your own supermarkets.
I ended up spending £22.11 on fresh fruit and vegetables that will last the week for us. Pretty good?! However when you add on the apps charges (bag charge, service charge and delivery fee £6.28) the total bill came to £28.39. This brings the total cost to roughly what I would normally spend on fresh fruit and veg per week.
So is this a good deal... like I said in the video - I'm not sure.
I have definitely received high quality food with long lasting dates with a record breaking delivery time. So if the ease of the service and the quality of the products are the same cost as how I normally get the items (which probably aren't as good quality) then I would probably still continue to shop this way!
I hope you enjoyed the video and I'll see you in my next one.

I think the fruit and veg all looked really good. I'd definitely do it again if I was you. Usually I like to pick my own food which would put me off..but all yours looked good x

Yeah i’m actually really enjoying the food this week and it’s definitely better quality- really tasty and lasting longer! yeah the thought of not choosing myself does feel odd! x

Thank you for sharing about this. That would be a really good deal if gotten where I am currently living. I don’t tend to add fresh fruit or veg to our grocery delivery orders because I am almost always disappointed by the condition and quality of the food. What you got looks really nice, though. I would be interested in seeing what you suggested regarding a comparison shop video (between this and your other local shops) and how you feel about the value of this service long term.
Have a lovely week and thanks again.

hi! thanks for your comment. I’ve been really enjoying the food and the quality is definitely better! that’s a good idea i will have to do another video soon 😊

@@larnarussell 🙂 I am so glad that you and your family are enjoying everything. I know that you are vegetarian so all of that nice fruit and veg is probably extra delightful for you. I am a vegan so I completely understand. I am thinking of starting my own YT channel when we move to Italy in the spring (from the United States). Perhaps it would be interesting to do some grocery haul videos from there. I wonder if people would be interested in that. Thanks for sharing what you are finding for your lovely family.
