Online(ish) shopping genius from Tesco in South Korea

For too long now I have been thinking to set up a regular automated weekly shop from some online Tesco / mysupermarket or other shopping behemoth but can never get around to sitting there with some clunky shopping cart trying to work out which items are most frequently bought by us in the shop and would need pretty much every week on the week that would be substantial enough to justify the delivery cost.

I get around by bicycle and car in London so if this idea below were to come here or when it comes here! it wouldn’t be much use to me but the concept is fantastic for people that spend time on their commute just standing around waiting for a train or a bus while they need to also find time to get their shopping.

The idea is to use your smartphone to scan QR codes from TV advertising billboard shopfronts which then build the shopping cart on your phone application that you order to be delivered to your home.

Do you shop at either Tesco or ASDA?

Then you might find these two pages useful!, they compare one against the other once you have done a shop either online or at the store just bang in your receipt number and their systems will chug away comparing your purchases to what they would have cost at the other shop, if you could have got it for less at the other one they will give you a voucher for double the difference!.

These pages are not really publicized very well.. but then why would they be?

After a quick go on a friends Wii yesterday I decided to get one myself and spent a while looking for the most cracking deal I could find Also I want to drop a bit of weight and pretty much every review of the Wii Fit Plus thing says it’s shithot for dropping a stone or two so I wanted a bundle deal of the two with a couple of decent controllers for fun games. Play have the limited edition black wii with the fit plus and a few sports games too for £240 with free delivery just need to wait a week or two for stock.

For the extra controller I ordered a black wii remote with motion plus from Tesco and used plenty of clubcard vouchers taking the cost to 71p, sweet bargain hunting again…

This combined with the Dyson DC25 we picked up from Argos over christmas for £195 reduced from £285 and Todds Maxi Cosi Axiss car seat for £145 from £210 means we bagged a few bargains this new year.
