Don't go very often but going tmw
What are your waitrose best buys?

Frozen pain au chocolat

[Sparklingbrook]

The chocolate and orange Hot Cross Buns are sooo nice. But they do Toffee Hot Cross Buns and they are amazing.

They have the full range of Charlie Bighams ready meals and puddings.

Their own bread is very good. When I taste any other brand it’s soooo sweet. Bread isn’t meant to be full of sugar.
Their more expensive coleslaw, cheese sauce, hummus are better than any others.

[Prufrocks]

Bloody everything.

But seriously the reasons why I am a loyal Waitrose shopper despite it being ridiculously expensive (especially in lockdown) is the following which are in my trolly every week:

Bertinet bakery bread
Chocolate (no1)
Coffee
Medjool dates

Their fruit and veg selection and quality/freshness is unrivalled by any other supermarket.

[MiddleClassMother]

My weekly shop + anything extra!

[Serin]

Own brand cordial.
Frozen chunky oven chips.
Lemon tart.
Croissants.
Keycap manis.
Seville oranges.
President butter.
Frozen smoothie mix.
Manchego cheese.

[Sandybanana7]

My weekly shop too!

[ParkheadParadise]

Birthday Cakes
Chamomile Bubble Bath
Dd had a tantrum last time we were there because I wouldn't buy her an artisan sausage roll🤣🤣

[RileyG73]

The sauces. Omg the sauces! You like ketchup??.... They have millions. Mayo? BILLIONS!

[Prufrocks]

They also do a brilliant range of herbal and green teas if you’re into that sort of thing. Dragonfly is a great brand.

[Oldraver]

Waitrose eclairs are the best

[nursejekyll]

Love a Waitrose thread, although I hate the experience of shopping in Waitrose and prefer Aldi.
I always buy:
Barts spices
Waitrose basmati rice
Tiger Rolls
Chilli jam from the deli counter
Black bomber cheese
Frozen bread
Excellent wine selection - but crap choice of lager. Crisp selection isn't great either.

[teejayem]

Waitrose own brand lemonade with real lemon juice in the yellow tins. I was obsessed with it when I was pregnant and still love it now

The black pepper and nutmeg sausages/sausage meat are brilliant.

Japanese golden Curry block - for when you want to make katsu that gives Wagamama a run for it's money

Tinned cassoulet

Fiona cairns fairy cakes

Scottish raspberry ice lollies

No1 lemon tart

The individual seafood 'starters' in shells

Things I wish they'd bring back:

Apricot and almond stuffing
Chocolate brioche loaf
Chicken and Madeira microwave dinner
Chicken pork and apricot pie

We do our weekly shop there (one has to have some pleasures in life these days!). Including
Frozen yoghurt (berry one and chocolate one)
Smoked mozzarella (good on pizza!)
Own brand chocolate
Own brand olive oil

Oh yes! It's the only place I can get president butter in a tin that lasts longer than five minutes....
