Very OT Tescos online shopping for groceries

Anyone got tips for using this blinking website and not just ending up with a basket of stuff that costs eight times what you'd normally pay?

All I get is shoved towards the most expensive options and no easy way of selecting the sensible stuff that I'd buy in person walking around the store.

Help!

CAADX 105 beastie for bumpy bits
Litespeed L3 for Strava bits

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

    Exact opposite here: can take my time, do it over a few days, buy the cheaper options without regret, compare with prices from other retailers instantly.
    Saves me time and money.

    Yeah,

    I regularly see a guy on a load carrier bike at the supermarket.

    You know what, they might weigh 300lb but I really fancy one of those suckers. Turning circle of an oil tanker but how cool would it be to ambush a roadie on one loaded up with Tesco's bags? Food chain modifier of about 70 I'd figure. :D

    Our cycle couriers use one of these with a trailer on the back!

    look at the whole shelf, not just one item

    Get a clubcard - once it gets used to you, it'll start honing your favourites

    I know Tesco are the font of all evil but they do make the online customer experience relatively simple - although the gold medal for this goes to (shock) the DVLA, their online car tax application site is superb.
    It's just a hill. Get over it.
