You have gone WOKE thought you did all your shopping at Aldi and Tesco, now we find you are a secret Waitrose snob

:nono:

Most of my shop is Aldi and Lidl but when the girls visit we always go to Waitrose and I get my free Waitrose magazine and their weekend newspaper. I also nip in for bread and some of their very good essentials range

:hmph:

Asda does a mean cooked meat section and some delicious pizzas (including the customise-your-own ones) and Morrisons is good for fresh fish and decent overall value for money. Even if I could afford to consistently be a Waitrose snob as far as the general continental shop goes, I’d still be popping in and out of Morrisons and Asda. Home-Bargains. Iceland for frozen goodies. Even Aldi for sugar-free lemon-drops and yada-yada. I do a bit of shopping everywhere.

Tesco isn’t bad but it’s like the sertraline/Zoloft of shops. So common it’s a bit generic and … ya. Just a little too common for my liking, but I don’t refuse to other altogether. I’d rather be at Asda or Waitrose but it’ll depend what I’m doing and where I am.

I just nipped down to Waitrose just now and got my 50p off milk and 50p off
dog food plus got the free for members March Magazine (normally £3.50) plus 2 of the Waitrose
weekend supplements/newspapers. I also had to buy a birthday card. I also got
some potato salad and chilli crostini bites that were on offer


:hee:

Its our only supermarket in town, so I use it often,I find it okay for most foods and they have good veggie options.

Tbf I haven't done it in a long while. Maybe not since before the pandemic.

We still using Covid as a before-and-after landmark?

It weren’t 9/11 or WWIII, gurl. Come on.

Woke gone mad :rant:

M&S that refuses to sell fresh haggis is woke gone mad

It was a time when time stood still. We may be in 2022 only but the pandemic was a major point in our history. It was a time where we clapped outside our homes like puppets on crack every Thursday, it was a time where if someone was not standing 1 metre away from the person closest to them arguments broke out, it was a time where if someone coughed they looked up with wide eyes and shame while the rest of the people around them looked on in shame, disgust and judgment, it was a time where we bought toilet paper in bulk for fear of missing out, it was a time where you could be arrested for trying to go someone's house to have sex...I shall always look back on it fondly

I mean, we’re in 2025 but I feel you. I thought you were one of those people who annoyingly think the world’s been doomed since the tail-end of 2019.

I mean, obviously a little bit of that’s coming through in your post but at least you ain’t shading the present day with post-Covid looms. That’s whar I mean.

Us people!

None of your business you rude twat.


:hee:

I prefer its main competitor Nowthorn.

…:laugh:…or Soonpoppy’s….?…that was way to clever a pun for early morning…(…for me anyway…)…

Anything's worth a shot since Laterdaisy's went under. :hehe:

Never. There’s not any that are actually local to me and even if they were I still wouldn’t use them. I’ve used M&S on the odd time, their stuff is good quality just a bit expensive is all.
There has been times where I’ve been out in central London and needed to go to a shop, but use somewhere else instead of a Waitrose that was closer to me. I haven’t voted on the poll though as none of the options match my answer.
