Are you 'stuck up'?

[Ramy48]

If you only shop at Marks and Waitrose?

Waitrose...cause I like to ride my bicycle and I can get there without going on the road. Yay canals.

I sometimes shop at m&s food hall, love their stuff! But only after pay day as a treat. I also shop at aldi, farm foods and tesco.

What exactly do you mean by stuck up? It's a phrase used frequently by the envious to cope with their feelings IMO.

If that's where you usually shop then no, if you spend a great deal of time thinking and talking about the fact that you only shop there and ^won't& shop elsewhere then yes you're probably stuck up.

orangefusion stuck up usually means someone who considers themselves better than other for very superficial reasons - e.g. they're richer, wear designer labels etc and looks down on other people who don't. This is different from someone who just wears designer labels or is rich.

I shop at the co-op and m & s. I'm probably a bit confused.

Like the quality of the meat, fruit and veg.

I do not understand the obsession with which grocery store you frequent on MN.

No.

I went into a Waitrose once and it was like Lord Of The Flies.

Never again.

Tough and brave, yes. Stuck up, no.

I'm a bit stuck up - about grammar and behaviour, and I love Aldi and Lidl.

Well if you're not short of money I think it's sensible to shop in M & S and Waitrose. Far quicker checkouts and not usually great crates of foods in every thoroughfare so nobody can get past. I quite like Sainsbury's but it's not quite what it was. The one I went in today was total Bedlam.

Bit boring if anything. They are the two most clinical soulless food shops ever.

Its really interesting what preconceptions people have.
When I do my comparison shop via my Supermarket Tesco is the most expensive followed by Ocado then Waitrose and Asda.

I'm just sad that I can't forever shop at Booth's. I love Booth's but I don't live in the north!

I nearly wet myself in excitement when I realised I was close enough to Waitrose this morning to justify a shop! I love their fish curry and veggie pates!

Neither M&S or Waitrose play 80s music like Morrisons and Asda do.

Tesco and Sainsburys are my least favourites.

I'm stuck up but poor :( So I go to Aldi

I love Marks and Waitrose - their chocolates and desserts are AMAZING. But really, I'm lazy and will shop wherever's closest. I draw the line at shopping in Iceland though - I once stood behind someone who stank of wee and their food is shit. Anywhere else is fair game.

Iceland is actually ok. They sell stuff that's not frozen or a ready meal. Fine for a loaf or milk.
Frozen peas and chips are the same whether from M&S or Iceland IMO.

I'm stuck up cos I talk proper apparently. Will shop anywhere tho. No loyalty.

I don't think they've said you're stuck up, or snobby either though, have they? They've just made a jokey "Ooh, get you" noise and probably mean nothing by it.

Not stuck up or proud at all. I will shop anywhere. Usually Tesco around here, as they have a near stranglehold on the local market for now.

The stranglehold is soon to be weakened though. A new Aldi is being built and will be just as convenient for us. When that opens this summer I shall certainly be giving it a good try.

If I am in a town centre near M & S then I may pop in to buy a ready made lasagne for my family to save me having to cook when I get home. I do like a number of their ready made sandwiches too, if I am there around lunchtime and feeling peckish. I don't actually do a full shop there though.

I'm so stuck up that I only do my shopping online. I simply can't bear to mix with the 'Great Unwashed'

M&S in Paris is very funny. All these French people buying English pancakes and thinking they're so posh. It's usually totally packed (and then there are always a few very loud rah British Erasmus students to complete the experience).

I popped into M&S a few times a week when I was there but only cos it was the only place I could find Red Leicester (and veggie Percy!) and it was really close to uni. And French supermarkets aren't cheap in general so the prices were pretty much the same.

I went to the huge M&S at Cheshire Oaks. It was unnecessarily large IMO.

Sparkling DS1 would take issue with your frozen chip comment. Had to make do with McCain when I couldn't get to M&S because we were all ill and taking it in turns to be stuck at home, a month or so ago. DS2, chip lover extraordinaire, wasn't as enthused as he could be by them and picked them to pieces looking for the good bits. DS1 told me not to get them again. They tasted of nothing and had a rather grainy texture.

The Maris piper oven chips we get from M&S are usually lovely, though. It's unfortunate that they cost twice as much, but at least they get eaten.
