'Waitrose' in your original post is in a blue hyperlink, 'Tescos' isn't for some strange reason...

You would hate my life-wasting habits
I go to the market once a week for my fruit and veg, the baker every couple of days, multiple supermarket trips, the odd trip to the butcher, the fish monger, the greengrocer, the corner shop, another market...
But that gives you less time at home on the internet, to label other people mugs.
Asda had a major issue with fresh and produce at the weekend due to lorries unable to get to and from the depot in Erith, this affected multiple stores, I do agree that sometimes the substitutes are woeful but logistics problems happen unfortunately

There was a fly on the wall TV doc about a supermarket chain, crikey 20 years ago? Set in a West Riding town, the supermarket’s nemesis was a pensioner bloke who challenged the manager, daily, on why item after item didn’t meet the price match promise of rivals down the road. Living the dream.
I agree ruined only by the sheer volume of chattering boomers who fill the aisles, especially in the evenings and weekends
Has anyone found that supermarket milk goes ‘off’ really quickly ? Like within 2 days of opening even with a long date?
We had a spell of it with Sainsbury’s then it stopped but happened again yesterday. Don’t think it’s the fridge or anything as everything is ‘cold’ and no problems with meat etc

Used to use Ocado or Sainsbury’s, but as we get most of our shopping from Costco we just top up on items they don’t sell by occasional visits to the Sainsbury’s store. Biggest problem with home deliveries is that you seem to get all the stuff on short expiry dates.

They seem to happen more often with Asda though. I like some of their range and they have a wider range beyond groceries that can be delivered but the subs are poor and
I think its impossible to track without dates and given Asda have a habit of delivering perishable food out of date I personally dislike the whole idea of milk not dated! As for Asda and my annoyance at their delivery which started this threat, a fiver voucher to compensate for their poor service offered, nah, no thanks i have binned you for a while at least, I do like variety and not sticking with the same delivery but I'm off elsewhere for the short-term at least. Asda you are relegated!

Has anyone, in the entire history of womankind, EVER had any luck with 'ripen at home' avocados?

If they are that variety that stay rock hard on the outside while going brown/black inside, then yes.
But what do you expect if you're not a feeler-squeezer-sniffer
Define luck.
If you mean ‘wait until they’ve gone hard enough to use as hard core’ then I’m the luckiest man in the world.
