Rank these supermarkets in order of class

[HavelockVetinari]

Inspired by a heated discussion about whether M&S or Waitrose is posher, please rank the following supermarkets from poshest to least classy:

Aldi
Asda
Iceland
Lidl
Marks and Spencer
Morrisons
Sainsburys
Tesco
Waitrose

Thanks in advance!

[Jessbow]

Depends what you want to buy as to how relevant the shop is.

Anyone who shops in M&S or Waitrose for cat litter must have money to burn.
Likewise , if you want fresh fish you WOULD favour Probably Waitrose or Morrisons.

Posh doesnt really come into is

[Geraniumpink]

I think Aldi is fairly unusual in being a somewhat classless supermarket.

[womaninthedark]

Waitrose and M&S are the two where you can be most-effectively fleeced but M&S has no class at all and Waitrose has very little.
The others, well, they're for those amongst us who are poor. Or stingy. Or both.

[grafittiartist]

Where is the wonderful Heron?!!

[AtleastitsnotMonday]

Properly posh people go
farm shop and deli
Ocado
Waitrose
M&S

[PortiaCastis]

Oh Lord how ridiculous how can a supermarket that's taking your money be in a class, class of what whoever is dim enough to pay our prices praps

[Anotherusefulname]

As far as I understand it Aldi and lidl are for the poor and the very rich.
M and S and waitrose are for people who think where they shop is a reflection on them as a person.
Iceland is for the desperate and everywhere else is much of a muchness.
Personally I go in wherever I am passing except Aldi because every time I have tried it every thing goes off in a day or two.

I'd add in the Center Parcs "supermarket" above Waitrose.

[Sooverthemill]

justanotherlurker I don't think it's intended to be a serious debate about class

[Repetitivestraininjury]

I always liked the saying that the point of M&S was to keep the riff-raff out of Waitrose.

[DrCoconut]

Sainsbury's and Morrison's are getting really expensive.

[TildaKauskumholm]

Booths should be number 1!

[Brot64]

What about Whole foods? Ocado?

Bit snobby isn’t it. We can’t all afford Waitrose.

[Brot64]

Sainsbury's and Morrison's are getting really expensive.

Don't know about Morrison's as don't have one near me. But agree re: Sainsbury's and must had the quality of their food has significantly dropped.

[AhhhHereItGoes]

Sorry Aldi/Iceland/Lidl the least posh.

Tesco/Asda etc middle of the road.

Waitrose
Sainsbury's
Morrisons
Aldi
Lidl
Asda
Iceland
Tesco

The Tesco near me is

[ShivD]

I’m surprised Lidl scores so lowly here and Tesco so highly unless I’m spoilt with the two Lidl’s I frequent so regularly that are 200 miles apart.

[Ellabella989]

M&S
Waitrose
Sainsbury’s
Tesco’s
Morrisons
Asda
Aldi
Lidl
Iceland

If Co-op were included it would go between Tesco’s and Morrisons

[MoMoneyMoProblemz]

@Anotherusefulname not really. I do shop at M&S for produce but thats because it actually lasts the entire week not like Tesco crap that goes off in your fridge after 2 days. Then I go asda or sainsburys for the rest because they are a stones throw.

Food is fuel and nourishment for your body - I would rather spend more on longer lasting and fresh produce.
