3 for 10 range of fresh fish and meat. It includes salmon fillets and nice mince and amazing meatballs stuffed with cheese in a roasted tomato sauce that is a family weekly favourite.

The no. 1 Greek yog and the sour pastilles. Have burnt the roof of my mouth with those babies before.

Waitrose rapid is a dangerous thing to discover, I love their stuff.

At the moment it has a lot of game included on this deal too. Fantastic value for money when a packet on its own can be as much as £5

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

Is this the chicken dinner? They still do this one.

Essential tinned toms - very good.
Essential baked beans - tried them after seeing them recommended on here, now prefer them to Heinz (and cheaper - thanks MN)
Findlater’s chicken liver paté - excellent.

I second the coffee - it’s the best.
Rice pudding with ground nutmeg (I need to stop buying these - I’m getting fat!)
Harissa chicken traybake
The Greek salad (I have one most days for lunch - I’m addicted for some reason)
Rose argan hand soap and hand lotion (it’s on offer at the mo for £2.50 from £5.00 - it smells divine)

I’m gutted because until recently they did the most delicious stuffed mushrooms with Stilton and red onion but they stopped doing them just before Christmas - I’ve been trying to make my own but they’re not quite as good!

No1 sausages, too. Free range and not too smooth and bouncy.

Tony's choc9lonely is slave free chocolate. Sainsburys do it, too. Nice and chunky.

Adriatic marinated anchovies

Where are these in store? Are they in the fish counter, the fresh deli section or on the pantry shelves next to sardines? Also, marinated in olive oil or sunflower oil? Thanks!
