Before huge superstores were conceived, it was the norm for families (okay, mainly the females) to head out for a food shop daily in order to stock up their larder. And it seems that this way of food shopping is having a resurgence, due to busy family lives and changing attitudes.
Could late night shopping save you £2,800 a year?
A survey by The Co-operative Food has revealed that nearly one in 20 people now shop daily for groceries, with 27% of people saying that buying in bulk didn't fit in with their way of life. 25% said that this was to avoid waste, because with only one in five households now planning their meals for the week ahead, spontaneity seems key. One third of households decide day by day what to eat, and a pretty shocking one in 10 waits until they are IN the supermarket before making their decision!
Online shopping - which supermarket really delivers?
This new research has shown that Brits are now adopting more of an 'as and when' approach to shopping, as opposed to the huge shopping list and trolleyload of food that was favoured a few years ago.
