But before your scroll to your favourite store, please note some supermarkets have reported a sharp spike in demand for online deliveries due to the second lockdown, so you may have to wait longer to book a slot at some stores.

Top tips for saving on all online grocery shopping
1. Sign up for emails with all of the supermarket websites, even if you don't intend to shop with them straight away.
Like all retailers, supermarkets often send out discount codes (such as 15% off your shopping) to entice us to shop with them, which will usually more than cover the delivery charge.
2. Switch around. Never use the same delivery service twice in a row. Supermarkets tend to ignore loyal customers and send their best deals to those who haven't used their service for a while – make them stew and watch the offers roll in!
3. Complain, complain, complain. If there is anything at all wrong with your shopping (late delivery, damaged fruit or vegetables, items too close to their sell-by date, dented tins) don't just accept it, phone up and tell them.
Most customer service managers are keen that you enjoy the service and will often replace or simply refund your money, straight away.
What's more, depending on the problem many will issue credit notes too, giving money off your next delivery (which may cover that delivery fee!).
4. Check prices. Depending on what you buy you could still end up spending more at different supermarkets, even if your delivery costs nothing.
5. Don't forget Click & Collect. A number of supermarkets offer Click & Collect services, where you order in advance and simply have to pick up the shopping, which is already bagged up and ready for you.
With self-isolation and staying at home as much as possible due to the Corona Virus still going on. It's becoming more and more important to stay away from other people as much as possible.

Asda Delivery Slots Time Release Today
Please note, these times could change as things develop with the pandemic and as more staff are brought in to help with demand but were right at the time of writing this article.However, customers are being asked to think before they book a slot. Do you really need a slot that week? Don't take up a slot that you don't need, let someone else have it – elderly people who can't get to the shops or vulnerable people who aren't allowed to leave their homes due to illness.
Yes, we all have ourselves and family to look after, but maybe just take a minute to think before you go ahead and book a slot that could be much more important to someone else.
Or, perhaps you could ring your elderly neighbour to see if they need anything and you could merge both your orders into one delivery, saving a slot and helping out someone in need at the same time.
Now more than ever is the time to come together and help each other out as much as possible.
Stay safe!
