Point a mobile phone's barcode scanning app at the fridge and all your purchases will be sent home before you return

Scan your products, and you're good to go: No more empty fridge when you return home from holiday

Tesco switched on ten digital displays in Gatwick's North Terminal departure lounge, giving four 'fridges' for perishable goods and six 'cupboards' for more long-term goods.

The fridges will be trialled over the next two weeks, with hopefully a fuller roll-out if customers give their approval.
Eighty products - ranging from fruit and vegetables to cleaning products - are available.
Customers use a barcode scanning app, which they point at the image of an item on the fridge. It then gets added to the virtual shopping basket, and delivered to your home while you catch your plane.
Tesco’s internet retailing director Ken Towle said: 'Our business in Korea is teaching us a lot about how customers and technology are transforming shopping.
'It gives us a unique window into the future and the chance to try out exciting new concepts.
'The virtual store blends clicks and bricks, bringing together our love of browsing with the convenience of online shopping.
'It’s a chance to showcase what we can do to the 30,000 people a day who will depart from Gatwick’s North Terminal, many of whom will need to fill their fridges when they get home, and we’re looking forward to hearing what they think.'

Trolly in your hand: Your phone displays your selected product and the price

Senior marketing manager for Tesco.com, Mandy Minichiello, said: 'As a busy working mum of two, I know that planning holidays can be stressful. The last thing you want is an empty fridge when you get back.
'When we came up with the idea for the virtual store at Gatwick, we really wanted to provide a helpful service for busy families.
'You can book a delivery slot up to three weeks in advance, do a full grocery shop while waiting for a flight and it’ll be delivered to your home when you get back.'
