Three ways that work
Take them in this order around Whitleigh: the one that always works, then the one that is quickest.
Ask a local helper
A neighbour in Honicknowle will happily walk this shop for you. They collect everything on the list at Transit Way, not just what fits in a bag. The price is fixed before they reach Transit Way, and you pay when the bags arrive. Taskerama is a good place to find someone near Honicknowle.
Try an app as well
Two apps matter around Plymouth: Deliveroo, which carries more shops, and Uber Eats. Enter your PL5 postcode and you see straight away whether Honicknowle is in range. A yes here beats the other routes for speed in Plymouth.
Lidl online
Away from Transit Way, Lidl runs an online shop for the non food side. Homeware, garden bits and cases of wine, sent by courier to Honicknowle. No help with the Plymouth weekly shop, but it catches the middle aisle. See what Lidl has online.
