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

Waitrose own Cranberry sauce
Coconut and lime ice cream
Waitrose dishwasher cleaner
Sparkling Shiraz but I have to get my friend to get that delivered.

Their piccalilli is amazing

Make sure you check their reduced aisle, all too often you find something you've always fancied trying and if the timing is right it's well below half price, sometimes pence!

Their essentials range is great value and good quality.
Baked Beans
Tinned spaghetti
Biscuits
Loo rolls

Forgot to mention their own garlic mayonnaise is pretty good.

I really rate waitrose essentials range-always get the italian balsamic dressing

The big fat fish fingers on the fish counter

Burford brown eggs

cesar salad

turkey mince

table salt and cornish sea salt crystals.

Am still sad ocado is partnered with M&S but I do walk to my waitrose far too often.

Their cinnamon buns! Clearly popular as they're all gone if I'm too late in the day at our local. Nice and fluffy and not sticky sweet.

The baked Basque cheesecake, although they don't seem to always have it in.

Sherry - good price and lovely flavours.

Oh! And their scotch eggs are the nicest supermarket ones.

I always buy the Isey Skyr Baked Apples Yoghurt - is delicious, and I've yet to find anywhere else that sells it!

I'm an occasional shopper too.
I rate the steak pie and I go for the reduced sour dough and pastries at the end of the day

I love Tim’s Dairy yoghurt- vanilla one amazing but they all are. I go especially for that.
i also can’t resist their potted shrimps which are definitely a luxury for a tiny pot.

Have you tried the frozen fish fingers? I find them even better than the ones in the fridge.

Reduced fat meatballs, soffritto, fresh pasta, their own brand lasagna and curries
Frozen cherries, mango and mash
Sourdough crumpets
No added sugar ruby red fizzy drink
Fresh lentil noodles
Their slow cooked range when on offer
Fish when on offer
Aged feta (strength 4)
No 1 chocolate with hazelnut, cashew & pistachio (on offer atm)

Dutchy bread flour= but I will hate you if you find any as the 2 nearest branches haven't had any for weeks, but they keep sending me £1 off vouchers each week.
Waitrose number 1 icecream- especially the coffee. And the chocolate dipped cones ( wish they still did the coffee Magnum equivalents.)
Venison meat balls
Venison burgers- but they have just jumped up in price
Carrot cake - Sainsburys TTD chocolate cake is better though
Celery hearts
Essentials frozen berries.
Pesto
Lasagne verde- but haven't seen any for ages

Celeriac remoulade (next to the coleslaw)
Chilli Jam
Waitrose tinned tomato with garlic
Cambozola

Love their chicken

Me too!

Nush almond yogurt and cheese
Almond milk

Toilet rolls for sure
4x triffles - no gelatin so suitable for veggies
Essential store cupboard staples generally very good value and the review ratings are generally accurate which helps
Aubergine and butternut squash gratin

@woodhill Ah soFrito- it's brilliant in spag bog!

I use Waitrose a lot generally but don't rate their ready meals- M&S I find nicer

Yes used it to make soup today😀

own brand cashmere loo rolls
President dome butter
Jackson’s sliced bread (seeded for me, white for DH)
celeric remoulade

Almond croissants
Hummous
Prawn mango masala
Keralan chicken fry
Tiramisu
My paper because it's free
Higgedy cauliflower cheese quiche

We shop in Waitrose as standard now but I aspired to do this for years!

Before I met DH and lived alone in a house I broke the bank to afford I would only every go in to Waitrose after a bad week at work and it was ALWAYS for their own brand ice cream! The coffee and white chocolate ones are divine and they do some great limited edition ones too!

Hate to admit it as a republican but Duchy Original chickpeas are excellent for recipes where they need to stay firm. Their quick cook bean soup mix is a good standby. As is the spinach and feta pie someone else recommended. Like the fact they stock good quality burrata, mascarpone etc. Also like their fresh mussels and excellent wine offers.
M&S do much better sourdough though.

Vogel sliced wholemeal bread (it's the only place that sells it near me)

Own brand aloe vera toilet roll (much better quality than any of the supermarkets or Andrex)

Own brand speciality raspberries

Freshly made vegetable gyoza
