To think Waiterose is for posh people?

[TiggyD]

I was a bit to see the medium sized Waiterose near me sells 12 types of humus. I take it their regular customers would be upset if there were only 8 types of humus to dip their free range organic corn chips into.

They do have a range of 'budget' products: their "essential" range. It includes humus! I think humus is OK but I'm not entirely sure if it's "essential".

12
Ridiculous

Like yoghurt aisles.
Who buys this crap like 'Activia' and what have you?
It's yoghurt and flavouring.How many kinds does one need to be wasting one's time perusing?

Haha! Aspirational rather than posh :) 10 types of deliolive also.

Hummus is essential to a hummus addict like me.

I like Waitrose.

I'm not posh, I go there because it's the closest supermarket to my house. I also go to Asda, Sainsburys and Tescos. Morrisons is too far away.

They don't do Angel Delight either!

I love Waitrose, I prefer to eat food, not chemicals

Well Tesco and Sainsbury stock umpteen types of houmous too so I'm not really sure it's the best comparator to use...

Apparently you can but '6 everyday champagne flutes'.

I'm not posh, I go there fore the cakes.

Ooh! I'm posh! :o

I love Waitrose. I don't think I'm posh though.

yeah just one type of yogurt and humous in lidl tis all you need

I have been having the occasional Ocado order. They frequently send me 15% off and sometimes up to 25% off codes; working out much cheaper than Tesco!

There are some things Twatrose does really well (fresh fish very good, some fruit etc). Most of it is just Asda-quality, ridiculously over packaged. Their deli stuff is foul - oily, full of nasty flavourings, just hideous.

I go there for the proper ingredients, I am a cook and need proper ingredients!

tescos do stupid amounts of different hummus too.

Not getting your point OP.

Do you hummus issues?

I love Waitrose cheese/deli counter - they can tell you if everything is vegetarian/pasturised etc. If there is something that isn't available they will rush off out the back to check for you and apologise if it isn't available. They also do the shopping for the old people who go in the store with a shopping list and can't manage it all themselves. I might just be very lucky to have a fab Waitrose though. Its a choice of that or Aldi where I live.

*have

I love Waitrose. They just have whole worlds of interesting variations on food, like instead of bogstandard stuffed pasta you can get spiced butternut and sage or whatever. It feels like backpacking

Humous/hummus/humus Nazis. I have the right to my 12 different kinds of chick-pea based mush. Only today I bought some caramelized onion hummus. It was Sainsburys, but I feel my point is clear.

Hummus is an essential according to our HV, they are always suggesting I feed it to DS.
I go to Waitrose sometimes as it's one of three shops in walking distance and is cheaper than the Co-op and the Spar.

out of all supermarket hummus consumed,I prefer tescos.

It's true, they literally do only have one type of yoghurt in Lidl it's weird plain runny stuff. It's the closest shop to my work so I get that and stock up on flavourings like fruit and vanilla essence to wankify it

I don't have a choice, my nearest supermarket is Inverness, also dubbed as Tesco Town.
No Asda, Sainsbury or Waitrose, a Morrisons and a very small co op. And about 4 fucking Tescos..
I want choice, I want to see how many types of houmous I can get in Waitrose.
It's not fair, I'm discriminated against as I can't go on an MN thread and discuss the variations of supermarkets.

"Allegra, Allegra- put that kumquat down!!"

Genuine Waitrose quote I heard in the Holloway Rd branch.
