Waitrose vs M&S Food

[pearl]

on a recent visit to sunny worthing i was tasked by my wife and daughters to procure a large amount of quality women's underwear..(honest)...the looks i got in m&s underwear aisle would have sent a lesser man to the psyche unit , not me though........i stood tall and did them proud....

did you hastily stuff them in a Lidl bag though?

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Generally neither but that said I do very occasionally pop into both - Waitrose for hard to get ingredients if I'm cooking something special and M&S if I want the meal for a tenner deal because I'm feeling lazy.

I can't stand Waitrose though - full of pretentious muesli hill types allowing their equally vile kids called Tarquin and Daffodil run around uncontrolled whilst they decide which organic Himalayan wine to quaff.

Try walking around there in work wear, never felt more like a peasant in my life

I'm yet to find a (unfilled) gluten free wrap that isn't like a sheet of either plastic or cardboard.

I'm no expert, but I think you're supposed to eat the thing that's inside the plastic and carboard.

Couldn't survive these days without my free Waitrose coffee. Nice just to chill while Axel and Chestnut are at nursery

Can't believe any of you do your own shopping. That is what staff are for.

I like to choose my own stuff. That way i get the freshest or the longest sell by date. Simples

Some of the substitutions are pathetic

Neither both overpriced with no improved quality and not VFM used by most for snob value and show. Many shol i. LIDL and then put their shopping in named stores bags for the benefit of watching ndighbours when they .leave their car to go indoors

Waitrose is comfortably the cheapest and best VFM supermarket where I live. Tesco, Sainsbury's and Lidl don't even get a look in. Maybe it's just a problem where you live.

Waitrose 'would you like a coffee'.....all day for me

Anyway, I'm sure it makes them feel good when they see you pack your own Sainsburys bags with their merchandise

M & S every time., and they don't have to bribe me with 'free' coffee.

This, the quality of their food, particularly meat, is IMO much better than Waitrose.

M&S is miles ahead of any of the supermarkets although pricey naturally

You have clearly never shopped at Booths.

I love Booths always go to the one by the station in Windermere when we're staying in Kentmere

Overpriced yes. You obviously don't have a good pallet then. You can tell the difference in quality compared to Asda/ Tesco's etc

There is indeed a difference in Quality. Where i work we supply M&S and Waitrose and there ingredients are far better than that of Tesco and Asda. Hence the superior price difference.

M&S food is gorgeous, but you'd have to be flush for cash to get all your food groceries there.

Waitrose food is 'better value' and a notch up on anything from Tesco, Sainsbury's and ASDA.

A lot of posing goes on Waitrose, Hove on weekday daytimes. Women must spend hours getting ready, before 'casually' breezing in to purchase a few essentials.

They are great shops. I'm fortunate that I spend a lot of time in the lakes on business and Booths is one of the pluses! Sadly the nearest to home is Knutsford which is a good hours drive.

I remember when I first discovered M&S food when I purchased a St.Michael's Chicken Tikka Masala for my first spanking new microwave It was chicken ding heaven and I've been hooked on all that the M&S food paradise has to offer ever since. Waitrose......meh they're just pretenders to the throne.
