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?

Redway 10-03-2025 11:11 PM

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

Benjamin 11-03-2025 06:53 AM

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.

…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…

Love Morrisons :love:

MTVN 11-03-2025 09:54 AM

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

Only 75p

bots 11-03-2025 10:18 AM

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

rusticgal 11-03-2025 10:23 AM

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

Crimson Dynamo 11-03-2025 12:25 PM

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

Livia 11-03-2025 02:09 PM

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.

Crimson Dynamo 11-03-2025 02:19 PM

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
