M&S by default, we don't have a Waitrose nearby. I've only been to Waitrose about three times in my life.

I avoid both as they are overpriced. Wasting money on food is not my thang.

I agree with this though, it's so overpriced. I never shop there, would only go for one or two things.

M&S do some really nice bits, not like everyday shopping items but like if you wanted something special for a meal.

I agree on prices, Waitrose seems to be so expensive.

Waitrose is basically like John Lewis as a supermarket, well that's what it reminds me of.

I don't have an M&S locally, so I'm going to say Waitrose. But the only time I go there is if I want a lovely birthday cake or something really special for dinner... and naturally have a good old whinge about what a rip-off it is.

M&S have the best ready meals I think, and they do like 3 for £6 or something which isn't so bad.

I've only really tried the pasta ones though.

I love the snacks you can buy at M&S. I treated myself to a nice shop when I came back to university earlier this month, and always tend to go for the triple chocolate crunch cereal (among other things, but that cereal is literally heavenly).

Waitrose do 3 frozen meals for £4, which is quite good for a student. The quality is alright too, and still better than some meals you buy at ASDA or Tesco.

Waitrose has plenty of affordable stuff as well as its pricier range and they don't rely on their own brand goods as much as M&S. Better shopping experience as well, can't get a free coffee and newspaper from M&S
