That was quick...

My new Fit-flops.

I made the error-strewn thread on purpose...

Yes, of course you did ..... pull the other one!

Back to Ocado - their website and delivery service is far superior and reliable compared to Waitrose's.

The thread was simply to include spelling mistakes to see how many pompous hypocrites would remark on them

Given your own propensity to correct the mistakes of others, GabriellaG, I take it you include yourself in this category?
(Or had you perhaps just not got your reading glasses on at the time )

It's all down to preference.
I'm not keen on either Aldi or Lidl but prefer M&S even though a larger shop is done at Asda because I can also mooch around at other different items.

That was quite an odd thing to do Gabriella. But then, who am I to talk?

If there was a Fortnum and Mason shop in the area I'd be shopping there too ! It's got nothing whatsoever to do about class/status it's my own personal preference for decent tasting food !

gonegirl - I love my fitflops but they aren’t the “well-heeled” ones

But then I’m one of those shoppers who can’t be trusted - one day I’m in Lidl, the next time I’m in M&S or Asda, Or maybe Morrison’s Sainsbury’s, the Co-op or Waitrose. I have been known to use the market or Tesco - but not generally Aldi as not nearly close enough.

I am just as fickle with my online orders which are only occasional, so I don’t think this change with M&S will affect me personally.

Ellan I sometimes shop at F&M as can walk there. They do online deliveries for those of you who live further away.

I'm too far away, Riverwalk, in fact over 200 miles too far

I use Waitrose delivery, pop into M & S foodhall probably once a week and use Aldi and Sainsbury's. The M & S delivery service would come in handy at Christmas, Easter and special occasions.

I’m a shopping tart as well, NotSpaghetti. Currently using Ocado because they’ve sent me four weekly £10 off vouchers and a free 3 month delivery pass. I’ve some Sainsbury £12 and £10 off vouchers to use after that - we’ll probably use those in store as their delivery charges are high. By the time those vouchers are done I can guarantee Tesco will have noticed I haven’t shopped there for a while and have sent a few vouchers. I buy a few bits in Aldi, the Co-op and Morrisons when we’re passing, and meal deals when they’re on in M & S (we got a pulled pork joint for 6 last time as our “main course” and stuck it in the freezer). There’s little to choose between any of them imho, and most of them price match. Play the field, it pays dividends!

All you 'shopping tarts' obviously live in places with lots of different supermarkets close by and also obviously love shopping.

Every supermarket trip I do involves a 10 mile round trip to a local town. I try to do everything in one weekly trip and then find other things to do.

Yes, there's something to be said for getting it all done in one 'hit'.

janeainsworth you couldn't be more wrong. I have no particular allegiance to any shop, the closest usually get more of my custom which is normal but, I do have preferences for certain items which are sold in particular stores. Nothing unusual in that
I don’t think I passed comment on your shopping habits gabriella, nor do they hold any interest for me

It's the same here merlotgran. The car parks in Lidl and Aldi always have new, pricey and upmarket cars in them. People load up their trolleys with continental foods and especially wine!

Slowly, slowly, those with a bit of money discovered the value to be had at Aldi and Lidl. Our nearest Waitrose never seems to have busy periods.

I love an M&S Food Hall. That's my destination at Christmas and for special occasions. I like a browse around there now and again and buy the odd food treat we don't really need. I often pop into the M&S cafe for coffee if I am meeting friends.

Love shopping, M0nica? Far from it. I shop online. As I said, we’ll probably make an exception and go to Sainsburys this time because their delivery fees are high. Or perhaps we’ll just pay the fee - life’s too short to trail round doing a big shop! Topping up is done when I’m looking after the grandchildren in two different towns and passing a shop.

I think our local Waitrose has shot itself in the foot rather. Parking used to be for 2 hours free, if shopping there, although it was taken advantage of a bit. Now all is changed, and parking is only for 1 1/2 hours. So, if you are meeting a friend for a coffee, then shopping, there now isn’t time. Perhaps they will lose out in the coffee shop, or in the number of people who shop for groceries. Time will tell.

I cannot wait because all I drink is M&S coffee. When I have the car I usually buy around 10 jars at a time but when I can no longer drive it will be great to have the jars delivered.

I do a lot of online shopping at Morrisons, I visit my local Waitrose which is a less than a mile away and I have shopped at Sainsbury's today for something specific. The only store not within a 3 mile radius of my house is the Co-Op.

Riverwalk I hate incorrect spelling too. Where did these people go to school?

I shop at Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, M&S, Lidl, Home Bargains, had a Fortnum and Mason delivery at Christmas, rarely Aldi, Asda.
However, I've never had an Ocado delivery

Does that make me working class?
It's so difficult to know after one retires.

Not if you've had a Fortnum and Mason's delivery Jalima.
Some of us dream of shopping at Fortnum & Mason's

M0nica shopping tarts indeed!!

We have limited choice here so usually combine shopping with a visit somewhere

Oh, I forgot Iceland!

M0nica shopping tarts indeed!!

That was me, Jalima

In fairness I was referring to myself. I wouldn’t impugn the fine reputation of other GNers.

I am a shopping tart but not, M0nica because I love shopping as I really really don’t!
I shop mainly where I’m doing things for other reasons. So Waitrose when visiting my mother in law, Asda, Lidl or Morrison’s when at home as all close and have parking, M&S if in town or on foot, and the Co-op or one other the others if I want to shop on the way home from work.
On top of this, twice a year (maybe 3 times) I bulk buy tea from F&M as they have lots of choice.
If I’m doing an online shop (rarely) it depends what sort of shopping I want. So although I prefer to shop in some more than others, I’m not just shopping tart, I’m a lazy one too!
