waitrose - occasional shopper - what do you buy

[MrsLargeEmbodied]

i always buy my loo paper there
tomato soup
used to buy their essential sausages
their bagged salads are long lasting
have recently discovered their white eggs - which are very tasty

like lidl/aldi, anyone else an occasional waitrose shopper and what do you buy, or am i alone

their almond croissants. the best supermarket ones available and I think they’d rival a patisserie!

Agreed, they are super delish.

Their falafels and ginger granola are really excellent (though not together obs!😂). I miss them so much since Ocado went rogue.

I really did read that as 'their falafel and ginger granola is excellent'

Reminded me of the character in vicar of sibley with the random sandwich combinations. 😂

I have never seen individual pieces of baklava in ours and now I'm very jealous.

We popped in today. Came out with:
brie
fresh figs - on offer
Stokes chilli jam - on offer
Quartz cheddar on offer
A Spice Tailor dhansak sauce - on offer
bottle of red for dp - on offer
fizzy sour watermelon sweets (already gone)

Their essential baked beans taste like beans did before too much salt and sugar reduction.

Their blood orange juice when they have it.

Our local one does lemon curd The Collective yoghurt which is lovely.

Blue Skies coconut ice cream
Venison mince for making burgers with
Lebanese cauliflower in tahini thingy
Essentials toilet roll
Cooked Turkey
Florentines

Chunky haddock fishfingers.
Tinned black olives.
Vegetable masala and kofta in the Ready Meal section.
Garlic baguettes.
Fresh chicken.
Chicken and mushroom pies.
The Levantine Table deli stuff.

They do fancy nutty biscuits that are about 150 calories for half a box and rock my world. I'm working hard to shift excess weight so am mostly avoiding stuff like that but when I have a real craving I nip in and get some.

Just back with: frozen cherries, mozzarella, wine, chocolate milk in a cute small milk bottle I'll keep, plus a reduced veggie pie

Bought some sausages, an easy gammon joint, their wine is ok

Essentials marmalade! Used to be about 65p but now is over a pound. But it's better than anything else!

Also frozen herbs.

hard relate 👊🏽

Essentials Camomile bubble bath
Fresh bread

Their chicken satay (in a sauce not on sticks) with sticky rice - although I think my local branch has stopped stocking it. No.1 Milk Chocolate with Feuilletine & Salt. I bought a very yummy apple tart made with puff pastry to take to a Sunday lunch the other week.

I use my £8 off a £40 shop vouchers really carefully - I spend as close to £40 as possible 🤣

Yes it's hard, I always go over because I worry about not having enough when I get to the till

Do the self scan! Then you know exactly how much you've spent. The other week I bought an onion for 20p or something to get up to the £40 🤣🤣 You can scan your voucher on the self service till 🙂

Their Indian foods. Pasta and sauces. I don’t find Waitrose too expensive, if you stick to the essentials range

I google‘Waitrose offers this week’ and go from there.
Secret Cellar wines on offer atm are good.
frozen baby broad beans are a regular buy.

I like their pasta sauces and bake for my teens- £1 each from the essentials range

No.1 Milk Chocolate with Feuilletine & Salt.
yes, this! And 20% off at the moment.

and yes to the fish fingers - nowhere else has any as nice.

I only buy certain things from there so get multiples when I go - sausages (attached, these are the best!), lemon and lime high juice, their hot horseradish sauce, Chapel Down bubbly for special occasions and their lavender fragranced wastepaper basket liners.

Nb I go to Aldi for most things, although I wish they would stock more things like buttermilk, light soy, dryer sheets, dishwasher salt - I always end up having to go elsewhere for those.

No.1 Milk Chocolate with Feuilletine & Salt .yes, this! And 20% off at the moment.
Just getting my coat on!!

Waitrose No.1 Ice Cream, especially the chocolate one.

Smoked salmon

Salmon terrine

Any of their Essential laundry products.

Waitrose own brand wine.

If vegetarian/vegan, things from the deli aisle.

Their Pure toiletry range used to be great value and quality, but think it's been discontinued.
