I was very skeptical when I started this. I for one, am of the view that I need to go to a shop, browse through things and then shop.
Bangalore has changed some perspectives. Early this year, I got a corporate membership for BigBasket. That meant I could buy things, and get a better discount.
Overall, I am happy. There are some things I still am a bit careful about. I need to go through handpicked vegetables and fruits. After all, some one else's choice may not match mine. For the branded stuff, I have given up.
To get a shop I have to walk more than a kilometer. When I take in account laziness, the online shopping is a good alternative. I look through the list of stuff that I need, and order that.
Some things like Gobindo Bhog rice. I accidentally found a shop that sells that. That itself is interesting. I remember going out my parents late last year. The objective was to go the Kemp Fort Shiva Temple. When we went there and saw the crowd, the mother did not want to go in. Then we realized we were in the ground floor of a mall. Total Mall. Now called Kemp Fort Mall by some.
We went up to the 3rd floor. And we found what we needed. Somewhere in the rice section, there was Gobindo Bhog rice. Then onwards, this mall has become a favorite haunt. The last time I was there was 2 weeks back. And that time, they had two different varieties of the rice. Picked a bit of both. And some daler bori. And Mustard Oil.
Bengali cooking would be incomplete without mustard oil. After testing a few brands, we discovered that the Emami Healthy and Tasty Mustard Oil was best for us. Sometime I get that from Big Basket. And sometime from Total Mall.
And some things like Yougurt, Butter etc - I get a good discount, so I order that from BigBaksket. And also eggs. I get this pack of 30 eggs. And that lasts me some time. With my brother planning a trip next week, will need eggs.
This evening I have a scheduled delivery of something that I have ordered for the first time. Pots. Not just any pots. Empty flower pots. 6 of them. Plan to start a mini garden.
Let the delivery come. Will know what came intact, and what got broken. And that is something I like about Big Basket. If for some reason, they discover things are broken (like eggs) or packets have seals open, they take it back and I get refunded for it.
