What food from Waitrose do I need to try?

I've never shopped at waitrose, apart from popping in for an emergency water bottle, kind of thing. I'm an Asda/Lidl budget shopper 🤭

I've got a voucher to use there for an online shop, £15 off of an £80 shop.

So which food would you recommend i buy? Which food tastes amazing and is a must try? I'm thinking of venison, never had that

Is the pasta superior? Any seasonings?

Do share x

Edit, spelling

The meat is good and they have a good range of organic meat if that’s important to you. The essentials range tends to be decent. I’m not sure there are any star items.

I feel like i should just do my monthly shop there instead of Asda, rather than buy expensive must try waitrose items

They sell the same food as Tesco, mate. Just pricier.

@LuluBlakey1

I'm looking through and it's a lot of branded items that you can indeed buy at Tesco 😄

If you love a curry, the kerala inspired chicken curry is quite addictive, as is the aloo gobi saag.

Excellent cheese deli counter.

Veg is top quality and the Essentials own brand is often better than than the branded equivalent.

Love the bakery too and the best commercially made Welsh Cakes!

Oh yes, the chocolate mint thins are amazing

They do nice cooking chorizo

You can get it all at Sainsbury's or Tesco. Same stuff, same labels- just costs more at Waitrose.
