How often do you people shop at Waitrose?
 

Is it somewhere you’d never go or is it where you do your (continental) weekly shop?

People who have some level of dual-culture affinity will know what I mean when I specify “continental” shop. You’ve obviously got to get your challa, borekas, plantain, De-Rica tomato paste, authentic jerk-marinade, chingri-malai spices, egusi and ogiri-Igbo from somewhere-else. They don’t even have quail meat at Waitrose. Just the eggs.

We don't have Waitrose in Ireland

I occasionally go. I prefer M&S though over Waitrose.

Never but not really because of any of the poll options, there just aren't any in my part of Bristol

…I have a Waitrose within walking distance/around a 15 minute walk so I’ll walk there for small things that are easy and lighter to carry….I know that it’s a bit more expensive but I have to balance up fuel etc to take the car to a more distant supermarket if I’m only buying one or two things…for some things it’s more cost effective to go to Waitrose…

Nearest Waitrose to me is in Glasgow, but I have seen a delivery van so I don't know if they deliver here.

Where is the never option? It is a shop that never appealed to me

…the last option…?…

‘I … actually wouldn’t even shop there if you paid me. Far too snobby and overpriced for me’…

That didn't cover me though as that is not the reason I dont shop there , its a bit like Asda I just dont like it :laugh: I dont think it is overpriced either dont they have a Waitrose range...that is comparable with most supermarkets :shrug:

I used to go there all the time for a few basic items years ago because it was in the village near my parents
Then a Tesco express appeared in what was previously a pub so I go there

I do have great memories of Waitrose but not for its food.

My supermarket hate is Morrisons.

…I have to say that I do like their My Waitrose card…(…others might operate similarly…)…but I like how it personalises your offers and discounts etc on the things you tend to buy…/…rather than the one size fits all offers that many others do…

Excuse you, best Supermarket going

Not that shop there
But that is a fantastic shop

It’s ****ing terrible. :laugh:

Love Morrisons :love:

Basically the only supermarket left which still bakes it's bread in store each morning :love:

Only 75p

waitrose used to be my only option and then the built a massive tesco, but i get most of my stuff from M&S home delivery

I shop at Morrisons for household stuff/tea/coffee etc and their steaks are good and well priced....but its really not as cheap as it used to be.


Basically I like the quality of fresh food like meat/fruit and veg from M&S and Waitrose.

Same

I like that the till ladies (or man) make a concerted effort to chat to you

If I want something particular, like if I want to do a cheese fondu without making it myself. Also, I might buy nice biscuits or chocs there to give as presents. Other than that it irritates me to shop there because it's expensive and I'm quite mean.

They do good vouchers each week

I always use my 50p off 4 pints milk and 50p off 4 bog rolls or 50p off their dog food

you can use 2 at a time

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:
