Tesco Grocery Fresh Food Challenge

I was contacted by Tesco Grocery to try their new Fresh Food Challenge. Basically they have been working really hard to make sure that only the freshest food is available to purchase in store and online. Now, I have to say that I quite often do my Internet shopping with Tesco or Ocado  thanks to a rather bad experience with Sainsbury. I have always been rather pleased with the freshness of what has turned up, but was willing to accept the challenge. I was provided with some vouchers for my shopping and I set to work.

Tesco sell some really reasonably priced fish so I ordered some mackerel fillets to go into the George Foreman Grill and and a nice salad to go with them. This was great and went down exceptionally well with the kids.

However, I must admit, that in terms of freshness this was probably the worst ever Internet shop I have done with Tesco as quite a few products such as tomatoes, strawberries chicken and lamb having only one day on them to eat. Big fail on the challenge I am afraid, and actually a total freakish occurrence as this has never happened with a Tesco shop before. That's the law of sod in action! Anyway, I negotiated with the delivery man on a couple of things and had them sent back and made use of the freezer. I should emphasise that this has not put me off Tesco as my experience of fresh food has always been consistently good up to this point.

In terms of quality of the food the lamb, fruit and fresh bread was exceptional and I think I will order a delivery for a Saturday morning so we can have fresh Tiger Bread for a breakfast treat. On line shopping is really the best option for busy parents and I think that in terms of price and quality you cant really go far wrong with Tesco.com.
