Food, grocery, drinks & emergency supplies
Ordering food or everyday essentials online saves time, but services differ a lot by country, delivery area and fees. This guide explains what to compare before you order. We add partner store offers to this section as they are approved.
Food delivery & meal kits
Delivery apps bring restaurant meals in under an hour; meal kits send measured ingredients and recipes for cooking at home.
- Check that the service delivers to your exact address before signing up.
- Compare the full price: delivery fee, service fee, minimum order and tip.
- For meal-kit subscriptions, learn how to skip a week or cancel.
- Look for allergen and dietary filters (vegetarian, halal, gluten-free).
Online grocery & everyday essentials
Online supermarkets and quick-commerce apps deliver groceries, cleaning products and household basics, from same-day slots to 15-minute delivery.
- Compare delivery slots and whether fresh and frozen items are included.
- Check the minimum basket and how substitutions for missing items work.
- Subscriptions can cut delivery fees if you order every week.
- Buy bulk staples (rice, pasta, cleaning supplies) where unit prices are lowest.
Coffee, tea & drinks
Coffee and tea subscriptions, water filters and drink delivery let you restock without carrying heavy bottles.
- For coffee, check roast date, grind options and delivery frequency.
- For tea, compare loose-leaf and bag prices per cup.
- A water filter can replace bottled water; compare filter replacement costs.
- Check whether the store ships drinks to your country and the customs costs.
Emergency preparedness
Power cuts, storms and earthquakes are easier to handle with a basic kit at home and in the car.
- Keep at least 3 days of water and long-life food per person.
- A first-aid kit, torch, spare batteries and a power bank or portable power station.
- Copies of important documents and some cash in a waterproof bag.
- Check and refresh the kit every six months (expiry dates, batteries).
