TESCO has made a big change to its deliveries and click and collect service, and shoppers will be delighted.
The UK's biggest supermarket said it would open more same day delivery slots for households.

Previously, the grocery giant offered the service from between 7pm-11pm.
That meant customers could do their online food shop earlier in the day and select a time between those hours for it to be dropped off.
But now Tesco said it has brought forward the time you can have a delivery dropped at your home to as early as 1 pm.
The same goes for same-day click and collect, which has been brought forward to 12 pm, when it was previously started at 4 pm.

This service will continue to end at 8pm in Tesco stores.
It's worth noting this service will only be available at 400 of the supermarket's larger stores across the UK.
If you want an earlier slot you will also have to make place or amend their order by 8.45am that day via Tesco’s website or app.
Tesco also charges a delivery fee for customers who make orders online.

Its standard delivery charges range from £3 to £7, depending on where you live, and if you want same-day delivery, you have to pay £2.
The charges for click and collect range from nothing to £2 depending on location.
Tesco and Sainsbury’s ‘secret codes’ revealed
Tom Denyard, online managing director at Tesco, said: “We are excited to have rolled out more same-day opportunities for customers to get an online slot, offering customers more spaces – and therefore more flexibility – than ever before.
"This allows them to book closer to their delivery or collection time and therefore improve our market-leading customer experience.”
Tesco also allows its customers to pay a flat fee either monthly, yearly or six-monthly, and then get their deliveries for free.
For example, customers can pay £7.99 a month to get free same day delivery and first dibs on securing a delivery spot for online shopping.
You can also pay £2.49 a month for free click and collect on your groceries and early access to Christmas and Easter collection slots.
SUPERMARKETS AND ONLINE GROCERY SHOPPING
Online grocery shopping has become increasingly popular since the pandemic, with many supermarkets offering the service.
For example, Sainsbury's starts prices at £1 to use the service and also has a delivery pass option with prices starting from £7.50 per month.
Asda charges between £1 to £6.50, depending on the time slot for their service.

What is a grocey delivery pass?
Delivery passes allow customers to pay a flat fee either monthly, yearly or six-monthly, and then get their deliveries for free.
In some instances, you can also get first dips on booking your Christmas delivery slot.
You should only consider taking out a delivery pass if you order groceries online regularly and if you think it will save you money in the long term.
All major grocery stores offer the service but the price varies.
For example, Tesco's anytime delivery plan costs £7.99 per month for 12 months or £47.88 if you don't want to pay monthly.
This sentence is a duplicate and can be removed.
Meanwhile, Sainsbury's charges £7.50 per month for the service or £80.00 for a 12-month upfront payment.
Asda has passes starting from £3.95 per month or a 12-month payment of £69.50
Morrisons also offer the service with prices starting from £5
