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

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. |

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

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 |
