Warning issued over ordering supermarket food via delivery apps

Deliveroo advert banned for implying food from several restaurants could be delivered in one order

Consumer watchdog Which? revealed that groceries ordered via delivery apps like Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats are considerably more expensive than buying directly from supermarkets.
The investigation found some everyday items were double the price on delivery apps, including Birds Eye Cod Fish Fingers and Quorn Chicken Nuggets.
Sainsbury's Nectar members faced the highest mark-ups, paying an average of 40-45 per cent more through apps due to loyalty card discounts not being applied.
Tesco Clubcard holders also paid a quarter more on average when using the Whoosh service, as certain Clubcard offers were unavailable.
Which? advised shoppers to consider the significant price differences and how urgently they need items before opting for rapid grocery delivery services.
