Most people still do a weekly grocery shop, according to new research. The study by Nectar looked at the nation’s shopping habits and found that the tradition of the weekly shop still reigns, with the majority of Brits still doing one big shop per week.
The study also revealed the nation’s priorities when it comes to scanning the aisles, finding that price, quality, and then expiration dates ranked as the most important factors for customers. However, the study also found that Brits take a fairly organised approach to their food shop, with two thirds (59 per cent) planning ahead by writing a list.
Of those who wrote their lists on paper, half confessed to often forgetting to bring it with them or check it. To help avoid that, Nectar and Sainsbury’s are encouraging customers to use the digital shopping list function on the SmartShop app, allowing shoppers to tick off items as they browse.
