To think that MNers need to lower their standards

[SlightlySuperiorPeasant]

or face starvation? So far we are 'never shopping again' at Asda (bad Christmas ad), Sainsbury's (bad toy sale email), Tesco (general evilness), The Cooperative (rip off dairy farmers), Iceland (too beige) or Morrisons (no idea on this one). That leaves Waitrose, who are apparently so terrified of getting it wrong that they have produced an advert saying that they aren't doing an advert this year Aldi, Farmfoods and Lidl. It's only a matter of time before they screw up too.

AIBU to think that everyone continues to shop wherever they would shop anyway, despite the huffings and puffings of outrage on here?

I was slightly off piste, in my trusty Jack Wolfskin.

I personally find Watirose far too poncy. I shop at Sainsburys because it's across the road from me. I take absolutely no notice of ads, so what?

Don't worry about the waitrose outfit, all you need is a coat. I keep a score.

OH i have a manky trespass would that do

I shop at Sainsbury online for convenience but frankly if Lidl did deliveries I would be in there like a shot. I really dont care where my massive big box of cheap washing powder comes from if its cheap.

Come on Lidl - plenty of willing customers are online. How about starting deliveries?

So Waitrose/John Lewis is off the approved list for advert hypocrisy.

Approved:

• Shops constructed from organic hand-woven lentils;
• Budgens;
• Booths; and
• M&S.

Any opinions on Londis?

:o FellowshipOfFestiveFellows that would make an excellent advert. Erm, good luck with the 3 bird roast thing...

If you look at the shopper demographics the profiles of Asda, Tesco, JS and Morrisons are very similar. The main deciding factor on where almost anyone shops is proximity.

There's always M&S.

And I do wish that Booths would move East a little. Durham is already a Waitrose free zone.

I go and handpick my fruit and vegetables from my back garden. I then kill my cow and chicken, slice some meat up and cook it fresh with my own grown herbs and oil I squeezed from the olives on my olive tree. I don't believe in supermarkets, they're all sexist, racist, ageist, humanist.

Ohhh, that branch of Waitrose is my local shop too, Morris. Although, I have been known to be disloyal with the M&S Food across the road.

I'm in Yorkshire and never heard of 'Booths' or 'Budgens' or 'farmfoods' for that matter. Never been in a Lidl, Aldi or Netto when that existed. We don't really eat frozen stuff so no Iceland. We don't drink dairy milk so the milk is of no issue to us and so we mainly go to morrisons because its our closest one.Asda or sainsbos if we're doing an online shop because tescos don't accept my card and waitrose is frigging extortionate. Used to go in coop for food top ups but now we don't have one near. M&S for percy pigs and a fruit loaf, got our Christmas dinner from there last year and it was horrible..

Really good for meat and cheese in particular
And sausages. Maybe it would be better characterised as a North-west supermarket - not sure how far it extends out of Lancashire and Cumbria.

The problem with the one nearest us is tiny car park.
