To be hacked off that I have been judged for shopping in m&s?

[salsmum]

After finishing a night shift this morning popped into M&S for some shopping for me and DP...parking was near, I couldn't be arsed to fight my way around Asda, Sainsbury's etc... I came out with about 4 bags and quite a few of their 3 for £10 offers on food and 3 for £7 along with some fruit etc.. for my packed lunches. I work hard for my money and am not afraid to grab a bargain in other supermarkets it was just that I wanted the quickness of this store and fancied treating myself too. I came out with my shopping and bumped into friends daughter ..she looks at my shopping bags and has a sarcastic grin on her face saying 'oh marks' I say yes I couldn't be arsed to go to Asdas etc just finished work wanna get home...well she said if that was me I'd walk to Asda's to save myself ALL that money hitching judge pants to under chin AIBU to think that a friends DD (aged 30) who will only wear Dune shoes and who's DH and her both have good jobs should not piss me off big time have to judge where I chose to shop??

Any time any says that social class no longer matters in today's UK, I'm going to point them to this thread, where the original exchange between the OP and the friend's daughter, and virtually ever comment would be completely incomprehensible if you didn't know there's a class hierarchy for where you buy your groceries.

OP, you don't need to justify your choices of whet you buy your fish fingers/cat food/ hummus to anyone, here or elsewhere. It really isn't the equivalent of shouting 'Take that, grubby oiks!' at Asda shoppers!

I get the DC's school uniform from Asda. It lasts all year till they outgrow it.
If it can survive my two youngest DCs it can survive anything.
Their food is food. Its no different from anywhere else. A carrot is a carrot.

Well you judge her about her shoes?

No one gives a fuck where you shop. No one. She was just making conversation.

Your comment on her 'dune' shoes made me laugh! It obviously matters to you where you shop Asda/M&S nothing is better or worse! I shop in Aldi, Morrisons, M&S online at Ocado. I wouldn't over think stuff. M&S often has the better quality fruit I find. I must look at Dune shoes am I missing a trick there?! Don't worry about such things or the Dune wearing friend.

Sainsburys do the besr fish fingers 😂

I was a happy grubby oik in Asda a few weeks back. Bag of 8 apples and nets of oranges for 50p. that's after their home delivery service the other month left me with no food and no money. Took ages to sort. .

There are carrots, and there's M&S carrots.

Our local Asda and Tesco are vast warehouse type places. It's the size I find hard to cope with - I don't need that much choice - rather than the actual quality.

Your Carrot Status is very important - It's used as a indexation of how had you word.

I judge ALL of your for shopping ANYWHERE.

I grow all my own food, wipe my arse with leaves, shower under the drainpipe and keep my own free range chickens who are merrily clucking round my living room as I type.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves with your fancy supermarket shopping.

There, I've said it.

I think if someone says'I only wear Dune shoes' I'd judge them a bit.

there are shoes .....

Oh the fun we could have this!

There are socks. And there are Mumsnet wank socks™.

Show us your carrots Worra.

Where did you get your chickens from, Worra?

I'm fucked, I think shoes in Dune are expensive.

There are arse wipable leaves, and there are Munsnett arse wipeable leaves

I refuse to be the cause of such carrot envy Foxes

I got my chickens through an adoption agency Honey

Why haven't we launched our own range?

Worra? I don't suppose your chickens are mythical ones? We can sell those with the arse wipe leaves and wank socks.

Question is are mythical eggs worthy of a higher CS rating than organic ones? What about corn feed ones (that's the chickens being feed the corn not the eggs bring corn feed)

That's not a bad idea.

Roast chicken with a leaf and wank sock stuffing, does sound rather delicious.

Mythical chicken stroganoff with lentil woven parcels.

I shot my first turkey of the season this morning.

It caused a bit of panic in the frozen meat section, but it was worth it.

I have some Dune tan sandals that would make you weep with their loveliness
So shut up.

WRT carrots. I prefer to have at least a chance of pulling a comically lewd one out of the bag. To increase the this probability you either have to go totally organic or totally mank. LowCost and KwikSave both used to sell 'Grade 3' vegetables.
A surprise in every bag.

Asda! You youngsters don't know you are born. My LowCost had those trolleys with long poles on them so you couldn't take them out of store for personal use. They were also too wide to get through half of the check outs so that added another exciting dimension to the weekly shop.
They sold 'crab sticks' in a jar. They didn't contain crab but I never worked out what they were made of due to the ingredients being in Latvian.

Apart from the 'Crab' sticks they mainly sold crisps and broken biscuits.

I switch between Tesco and Sainsburys, depending on who's doing the sweetest deal on vodka.

I do think Waitrose ready meals are much nicer than M&S though. The last thing I ate from there probably would have benefitted from some wank sock stuffing, tbf.
