In short. Having your shopping delivered every week does not mean changing how you eat. On Adom (adom.ma) and the AdomApp app (adomapp.com) you write your list for Agadir, receive proposals from professionals put in touch with you, and pay after the service. The story below follows an invented household from list to fridge.
Meet Anas, who shares a flat
Anas is made up for this article. He rents a room in a shared flat in Agadir with two housemates, and the weekly shop had become a chore that nobody wanted to carry out. They decided to hand it over, using the shopping and delivery service on AdomApp, but they did not want to eat differently or throw away what nobody had touched by the weekend.
The first list is too short, and that is fine
Anas's first draft says "fruit, bread, milk". It is quickly clear that this leaves too much to guess. He rewrites it line by line: what each housemate always buys, what changes with the season, what is never wanted. Next to every line he writes whether a substitute is acceptable. The same product from another brand, yes. A different fruit, no.
He also splits the list in two: what must be fresh on the day it arrives, and what keeps. Having done that, he stops over-ordering the things that spoil quickly.
Looking before ordering
Before he sends the request, the three of them open the fridge and the cupboards. What is already there comes off the list; what is half-used goes on a note. Doing this each week is a habit like any other, and once it is in place the list for the following week shrinks to a few adjustments.
A list that starts from what is already in the kitchen reflects what the household really eats, and that is what cuts waste.
Choosing a proposal and setting out the delivery
Proposals come in. Anas compares them, picks one, and spells out the delivery window, the floor, and how to let them know when the person has arrived. Agadir sits on the Atlantic at the mouth of the Souss, but that changes nothing at this point. What matters is the exact address and how to get into the building.
He adds one simple instruction: fresh items are checked on arrival, and anything wrong is flagged straight away instead of later.
When the bags are in the hallway
The three of them put away the cold items first, then see what was missing or replaced. Anas keeps a note on his phone of what worked: a substitute that was fine, a quantity to adjust, an item not to order again. He pays after the service, as agreed.
The week after
The next week he starts from the previous list and edits it: cross out what was left over, add what ran short. A rhythm sets in. If they are all away for a few days, no request goes in that week; if friends are coming round, lines get added.
The takeaway from this story is that regular deliveries work when the list is alive, not when it is copied word for word each time.

Frequently asked questions
How do I avoid waste with a weekly delivery?
Look in the fridge before you write the list, separate fresh from long-keeping items, and say which products can be replaced.
What if a substitute does not suit me?
Say so in your next request and list what is excluded. When the delivery arrives, report it straight away.
Do I have to order every week?
No. Each time, you decide whether to send a new request or not.
Is delivery suitable for an older person?
It can help a relative who would rather not carry heavy bags. It is separate from the home care assistant service, which you can ask for if company is needed.
When do I pay?
After the service. The quote is personalised and free on AdomApp.
