Online grocery shopping has become part of everyday life since the pandemic. But delivery fees and minimum spend rules can still vary a lot depending on where you shop. We’ve checked the latest prices to help you find the best value supermarket for online delivery in 2025.
Depending on your order size and the time you book, costs can change – so it’s worth knowing the details.
Right now, Iceland, Tesco, and Amazon Fresh offer some of the most flexible delivery options, depending on where you live and how much you spend.
Asda and Tesco have no strict minimum spend. Sounds good, right? But if you spend less than £40, Asda adds a £3 surcharge and Tesco adds £4. That’s on top of the delivery fee.
So, if your basket is just under £40, it’s worth adding an item or two to tip over the threshold and avoid the extra charge.
Here’s what you’ll pay for delivery from each supermarket in 2025:

Click & Collect: Most supermarkets offer free or cheaper Click & Collect if you’re happy to pick up your order yourself. This can cost as little as 50p or nothing at all.
Delivery passes: If you shop regularly, a delivery pass could save money – but only if you use it often enough to beat the pay-per-slot cost.
Loyalty schemes: Keep an eye on offers through Clubcard (Tesco), Nectar (Sainsbury’s), and My Morrisons – they sometimes include delivery perks or early access to cheaper slots.
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to grocery delivery – it depends on how much you’re spending, how often you order, and which supermarket you prefer.
If you're looking for free delivery on smaller baskets, Iceland and Amazon Fresh are great. If you shop regularly, consider a delivery pass from Tesco, Asda, or Sainsbury’s. And don’t forget Click & Collect for a free or low-cost option.
It’s also worth factoring in the price of groceries themselves – sometimes a cheaper delivery fee can be offset by higher item prices, so check the overall cost of your shop to make sure it’s still good value.
Whatever you choose, make sure you’re getting the best value for your money.
