Default 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.

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

…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

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 I dont think it is overpriced either dont they have a Waitrose range...that is comparable with most supermarkets

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…

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.

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.
