Re: Seasonal Greetings
Of course, Smitch - I'd forgotten about that. I've never done a Christmas shop with them because of the minimum spend.

Might be a cunning plan to book a Jan slot for reduced offers...
I very much doubt that Ocado's Christmas slots have been booked up as they haven't been released yet!
Smitch is right they have been released, we've booked one.

I think this year will see a lot of socially distanced Crimbo dinners cooked on the Bbq in the garden.............!!

Did you have to spend a minimum amount in order to reserve the slot or could you just reserve it without having to actually put anything on the order?

We had to make an order.
Re: Seasonal Greetings
You have to meet the minimum payment and check out.
The one year I did an order as we were hosting Christmas, I put loads of random stuff in my basket then edited the shop nearer the time.

Re: Seasonal Greetings
Given that people who normally host a large family Christmas may not be able to, it would be even harder than usual to get it right in the middle of October! Also, it's before a lot of the Christmas specials are even advertised. We usually get a Waitrose roast of some description - and they don't even become available to order until November. I like browsing the actual Christmas catalogue rather than deciding online and I remember last year asking week after week at Waitrose when it was going to be available!!

Re: Seasonal Greetings
I saw a lot of Christmas stuff in Sainsbury’s as I raced through
Some quite nice but I was tempted by some pleasingly retro cake tins (decorated ones for storage) - though I cannot find them online

Re: Seasonal Greetings
Stokey Sue, do keep looking. I looked for tins on Amazon, Etsy, Ebay which cost a fortune even second hand. I always check "gift" selections, but most come in cardboard. Tins are keepsakes "of the time" as well as being useful.
Please let us know if you spot any tins.

Re: Seasonal Greetings
I expect they will turn up in a few days but their site lacks the trail that enables you to go back to a category from a google hit
