Now, the number of Scots doing all their grocery shopping online has doubled since 2014, up from seven per cent then to 14 per cent today, according to analysts Mintel.

And a third of us have bought more food online in the last 12 months than ever before.

But while online shopping can make things simple, how do you know you’re getting the best deal?

We’ve teamed up with grocery comparison site mysupermarket.co.uk to help.

Spokeswoman Aisling Lawless said: “With inflation rising, we all want to try and save money on our weekly shop.

“Many supermarkets are in close proximity to each other so don’t be afraid to split your shop across two supermarkets to save”.

1. Meal plan – Knowing what you are going to eat for the week will cut down on impulse purchases.

2. Stick to the list – Write down everything you need as it will cut out any extra trips to the shop during the week and additional spend.

3. Sign up for loyalty schemes in every supermarket you use. And search for offers and discount vouchers before you pay.

4. Research – mySupermarket.co.ukwill compare your shop across multiple supermarkets allowing you to see where is the cheapest option. There are often big differences on the same item.

5. Split the shop – Splitting your shop across two supermarkets might seem like a hassle, but you can save up to 30 per cent.

6. Consider the discounters – Aldi, Lidl and Iceland are great places to stock up on fruit, vegetables and frozen items at a much cheaper cost than the average supermarket.

7. Look out for flash sales – Most online supermarkets offer big discounts on selected items lasting anything from a few hours to a week. Make a note of when they start so you can grab items before they sell out.

8. Track your offers – All products that are on offer instore or online will have an end date. Keeping track of when the offer ends means you can stock up before the promo finishes.
