Which supermarket is for me?
In general, when it comes to online grocery purchases, it would be best to do so only when you are very low on groceries and have a lot of items to purchase. This would allow you to hit the minimum delivery easily. Otherwise, the next best option would be going down to the supermarket itself except for RedMart as it is only available online. On top of the memberships, you are able to get credit card rebates.
