Overheard in Waitrose!

My shopping seems to be divided between Waitrose and Lidl, with the odd provisions purchase from the village shop.

It's about the only space you can park your car in Wilmslow, isn't it Lona? I seem to spend my time driving round in circles looking for a spot, then give up the ghost and go to Waitrose. The local retail park with Aldi and Home Bargains is much more accessible these days

It's my corner shop. I don't think they're quite as pretentious here as they might be where you live, Lona! I usually buy bread from the reduced bins, mainly at the end of the week. Yesterday I was looking for fishcakes and found some at the end of their 'display by' period and substantially reduced.

Parking at Waitrose is free for two hours which is very handy, but I also buy my special milks and gf bread there.
I do like a rummage in the reduced section, and don't forget 8 choc ices for £1!

I'd love to make a memorable remark but I'm too ordinary. Waitrose closed down in Durham because Durham likes cheap. DH thinks giving me a treat is taking me to the Waitrose in Hexham. It's really the meal out on the way back but I don't disabuse him of that idea.

Waitrose is my closest and I love shopping there but I have just finished a largish online shop to Sainsbury. I know that I do not make similar remarks but the ones I read were funny.

#blastfromthepast!

Definitely, I was devastated when they closed down in Maidstone at the same time as our only independent fish shop. If you wanted fresh fish you had to drive to Hastings.

I can hardly be snobbish, inverted or otherwise, about Waitrose as I've never been in one! Bring back Macfisheries, is what I say...

I go to Waitrose..it is nearest to me and smaller than the almost equally nearby Sainsbury. If it's speediness I need then I go to Waitrose, if it's saving a bit of cash it is a trip to Sainsbury. For work I sometimes go to a school opposite a Lidl and I always pop in for some tasty bargains. For many years I shopped in Tesco as it was the nearest.

I also use the independent butchers/fishmonger/greengrocer in town.

Occasionally I make silly remarks hopefully not as awful as some of the ones on the list..never sure what shop I am in!

Be careful of inverted snobbery, ana

No Waitrose anywhere near me, thank goodness!

I was having a meal with my DD her mother in law and my Dgs. We women were talking about supermarkets. Toddler was repeating the names of supermarkets. Morrison's, Aldi Asda etc, so I tried hard to get him to say Waitrose just to show we were up market. He wasn't having any of that. He clearly has no pretensions.

I do, too, Lona. Anything will do. I love Waitrose as much as Aldi, but I do have to stop myself giggling when I hear pretentious comments like those.

Well, it definitely wasn't me when, as I don't play golf and I don't thank goodness have a husband!

Actually, I take great delight in using my Lidl and Aldi carrier bags when I shop in Waitrose, just so they know I'm not easy!

I've seen this on fb when - it really made me smile!!
