The open mushroom ravioli ready meal has been discontinued, I think and that was my all time favourite.
My son and I would sometimes share one on a Saturday instead of getting a take away.

Four large pata tubes filled with mushrooms in a cream with a tomato ragu around the outside and topped with mozzarella. I wish they'd bring it back.

No1 blood orange sorbet + chocolate ice cream is actual heaven. I remember when they advertised it on tv, I went to get some and they sold out for ages.

Frozen edamame

Frozen pastries

Kimchi paste

All the cheese

Waitrose Essentials frozen beef burgers

Timbucktime · 04/02/2021 11:13

Change that to Waitrose Essentials frozen 4 quarter pounders. only £2.75 and 99% beef.

Tim’s Dairy Vanilla yogurt- just like ice cream. As a pp said the frozen Black Forest roulade is really special. Our 3yr old DGS practically swooned over it at Xmas.
Frozen Mediterranean veg - fantastic with chorizo lardons and chilli oil in an omelette.
Rotisserie chicken, wild salmon fab.
On the downside their meat isn’t good at all.

nestle pistachio custards. Cant find them anywhere else!

Creamed spinach

Salmon roe when feeling flush

Mortadella

Some of the dli fish and meats

Country pate on crosta mollica toasted bread - yum!
Deli counter manchego - head and shoulders better than others although more expensive but worth it imo.
Mixed olive ficelle
Johnsons seeded bread
Coconut & lime ice cream
Sushi Daily Counter

Frozen croissants.
I had a very strong craving for Parmesan for a few months and would buy many tubs of shaved Parmesan.

Sorry if this has been repeated but the big bags of onion rings that are 150 cals for the whole bag 🥳

Non sugar free high juice. They tax the Sainsbury’s equivalent with the additional sugar tax and it isn’t as nice as Waitrose. I also buy humous and coleslaw. I tend to do my main shop in Sainsbury’s and have two Waitrose’s close to me too, one local and one proper supermarket so I tend to pop in to one of them for pop up shops.
Prefer their beef also. And it’s just a nicer shopping experience.
I have an Asda close to me too which I use for tinned goods and junk food 😳 and it’s the shipping equivalent of Benidorm v St Barts. (Side note, haven’t been to either)

Frozen pain aux raisins and almond croissants....so bad but yet so good...suprisingly I haven't lost weight in lockdown Grin

@thethoughtfox

JingsMahBucket Those are the meatballs. I have 5 packets in my freezer. We have them with the fresh linguine.
Thanks @thethoughtfox. They’re comfortably in my cart now. :)

Don't go all that often, but when I do I stock up on their lemon-flavoured olive oil.

We had a lovely pizza a while ago, one of the oval ones. Can't remember which one it was though. Grin

Their seafood cocktail sandwiches are nice too.

@guest2013 - Any hints on what these are called please, I can't find them on the website 🙈

Bumping this for my next order!

Thingywhatsit · 19/02/2021 21:18

Ah I am in waitrose all the time (nearest supermarket 2 mins away and I get staff discount through dc. Loving the ideas on here - my freezer is full of yellow sticker bargains. I need to use some of it so I can buy some of their ice cream!

Own brand ground coffee particularly the Colombian and french roast

Firebird83 · 20/02/2021 00:17

The french salted butter is amazing.

Tillymintsmama · 20/02/2021 00:20

the free guardian newspaper when you spend a tenner. I miss the free coffees too.
