Coping with weekly shopping trip - older people

Shopping can be exhausting at the best of times. I rarely go to shops at any time, and definitely not in the heat. 

I order groceries online and they are delivered. The same goes for most of my clothes and other things.

Online mainly…and local co-op for bits in between 

I believe the co-op is good for some things that other supermarkets don’t stock.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a branch near me, the Spar would be my nearest local.

That's why I go to several shops.

Our Co-Op isn't very good, not very big, more like a high st corner shop than a supermarket and the one in Llanfair PG, is terrible all they seem to sell is biscuits and booze.

I go to 4 or 5 shops as its the only way I can get the things I want to eat and in many cases can eat. I see myself as time rich and cash poor, and shopping around gives me the opportunity for a slightly better lifestyle.

We don't have a sainsbury's and ocado don't come over the bridge to Anglesey, I did look at having shopping delivered, but found that I was only allowed small packs of things like pasta and rice and not the cheaper large sizes I buy rice in 10KG bags and pasta in 3KG packs. I also wouldn't trust anyone else to get me the right stuff anyway, the algorthingies that staff have to follow won't let them swap one type of veggie sausage for another and give you meat ones instead, if I picked no exchanges I'd probably end up with about 3 things delivered. Lack of stock is one reason I have to shop around so much.
