How on earth can you compare waitrose to the depths of lidl and aldi?

That's like saying Primark is better than Harrods.

The Pheasant is much better in Waitrose.

everythings like double/triple the price of asda, so not really saving anything even with all the cashback...

If you purchase John Lewis Partnership vouchers from Morrisons to pay for this you will get 7p off per litre of fuel. Buy the vouchers with your TSB Classic Plus account contactless card/Apple Pay and you will get 5% cashback on the £70. For me doing this last year that resulted in an extra £7 saving, though my TCB became payable at £0 so having to make a claim for that.

Using my £20 off code now. Wouldn't shop here without codes. But quality is good. Will be going to waitrose for a few items from now on but not for a full weekly shop.

cashback's gone down to £5.05p now :disappointed:
Edit: never mind, i didn't see the voucher code offer

Substitutions would kill any valentine even their toilet rolls on offer were not available they sent a third size box chocolates instead of the large size who has a valentine offer and does not have the stock? Valentine offer was not credited at check out !

Might've been mentioned but if anyone is interested in the £20 valentines meal offer it doesn't apply the offer at the checkout, only when the payment is processed. So, you can add £70 of groceries and £30 of bits for the valentines deal, use your £30 voucher at checkout and then when they process the payment they'll knock another £10 off for the meal deal. Called up Waitrose CS to confirm this. £49.50 for £100 of shopping including the TCB

order came today with a couple of substitutions that we couldn't use...baby formula (wrong type)...so returned those ...hopefully they wont affect the discount...otherwise ill be having a proper moan up...my assumption would be that as the issue is with their end that all will be fine...especially with Waitrose's normally excellent CS

So sorry.
Here you are:

Thanks for the reply.....I don't know what TCB is, can you provide a link please

How do you get the £10.50 cashback? and what is ''TCB'' Code through TCB. Thanks

A lot of ifs and buts. Have shopped online at Waitrose before, but when you stop getting money off codes its clearly more expensive than anywhere else

A branded product is the same wherever you buy it. The difference between buying something like Heinz ketchup or beans soon adds up when doing a weekly shop at Lidl/Aldi compared to Waitrose.

Ours came through fine, with the substitutions they seem to charge you for the more expensive item and then refund you the difference later.

Our total shop worked out at £53 with the £30 off, £10.50 TCB and £7 from Halifax cash back!

We got a lot of offers so it wasn't too expensive, basically we got a bottle of Llagavulin for free!

everythings like double/triple the price of asda, so not really saving anything even with all the cashback...

Had mine this morning, no sugary items available, I bulked buy a few items unsurprisingly they were missing quite a few of them, however upon closer inspection of the receipt I was still charged the same, they had increased the number of other items I had bought, not applied discounts correctly basically a complete mess, for example listing 14 coconut waters when I only ordered and received 8 so I now have to work it out correctly and spend my time resolving it!

Received my waitress shop today.
Before discounts 164 after 92.
Bulked buy on most items & received everything.
Excellent customer service to!

How do you get the £10.50 cash back? not very savvi at this

Does anyone know when Waitrose change their offers please? I want to place an order for Monday, but unsure if the prices will change. Thanks :smiley:

£130 worth of shopping for £60 (after cashback) delivered. Can't moan at that :smiley: Cheers OP!

What a bargain.
Saved 21.42 compared to Asda!
Saved 20% on selected items to.

This is a great addition to this offer basically another £11 off

be warned however is is a limited offer
so like all cashback you might not get it

Just seen this. Can anyone explain what you have to buy and how much as I can't work it out.
http://www.waitrose.com/home/mywaitrose/newspaper_offer.html

This might be an obvious answer but I've about given up on the other supermarkets now and going to change give Waitrose a try. Is there any difference between ordering through Waitrose rather than Ocado? Apart from ensuring both deliver to my address. Thanks

Here is someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

As is the Deli counter. Mine has a knuckle bowl where end cuts of anything are available for 49p/100g. I get my lunch from there every day - throw in a warm crusty Waitrose bread cob and a tomato and wallaaaa....

I shop at Waitrose occasionally. A lot of their branded goods are now the same price as other supermarkets. When items are on offer at 1/2 price, they are sometimes also in "MyPicks" so you get another 20% off. For example Nestle shreddies 500g are £2.49 at most supermarkets (compare costs on mySupermarket) including Waitrose. They were recently 1/2 price, plus got another 20% off as were in mypicks making them £1.
I also like their essentials toilet roll, nicer than Andrex. £3.50 for 9, but in mypicks, so get them for £2.80.
It is a more pleasant experience, the staff much more helpful & friendly. However a lot of items are dearer hence I also shop at Lidl, Tesco etc!!!
Good find, heat added op

That's an option when booking your slot

Overpriced store , still with all these discounts I'm better off in lidl/aldi.

Can I buy online but collect from the store as I'm just outside the delivery area?!?!

just done this...even before the TCB its a fantastic deal...with newborn twins chuck in a couple of formala tubs, and a boat load of nappies and getting to that £100 mark is simple....thanks OP

2 for £1:38...when they are all being reduced picked up 16 of them and froze, also smoked salmon..
Most of my meat are from local butchers.. Wife shops at lidi/aldi mainly buys chocolates and cereal..
We prefer free range not those £3 accelerated raised chicks... Quality over quantity...

Lol..... Enjoyed reading comments..
I shop at waitrose I love a bargain like the reduced sea bream 2 for £

The bottom line to this is Waitrose - when it has it's 'half price event' (NOW ENDED!) there are some really good offers. General shop in Waitrose and you will be fleeced, no doubt about it. Lots of items are far dearer than other supermarkets. How would I know? I shop at ALL of them, bar Tesco as ours is small. We have ALL the main supermarkets and this deal is probably ok as a 'first', but there ain't no half price items. Like all supermarkets the only way to WIN is to shop all of them. Most shoppers simply do not have the time to do this. I/we are lucky we can.

The best deal this weekend was Sainsburys Nectar voucher Swipe and Win.
We are still laughing this evening. I did a quick shop Friday and only got 200 points on my tenner spent. We went back did a big shop today and split it all up into around 10 quid batches - 11 of them. Ha ha ha. 11 times through the tills, some in trolley, some in baskets. My wife thought it was mad and not worth the effort. I said what have we got to lose? At worst we will get the minimum 200 points (that's a quid), 11 shops is 11 quid off! She said oh alright.
She was soon smiling!!!

She got one 5000 points, a 2000, three 200s and then a 1000 points. I waited with the trolley full of the rest till she came back - I knew she had a good one - she was grinning ear to ear. I went through then with each batch. Not so lucky, third time and another 200 points, still that's 3 quid. Then I too got a 5000 then a 1000!
Totalled up we have 76 quid of nectar points. Wow! Ok, we have to go back in shop to scan all the vouchers to swipe and win. Somebody has messed up on this, unless we were really lucky.

PLEASE do it again Nectar and Sainsburys. LOL LOL LOL

Do Kellogg's make special cornflakes for Waitrose? Does Coca Cola make special Coca Cola for Waitrose?

Personally, I look at the balance as a whole. On one hand, lots of people have benefited from this deal being posted. And on the other hand, one idiot has been suspended.

In that sense it's very much worthwhile! :smiley:

Personally, I don't think it is tbh. Everything eventually devolves into a turgid confrontation involving class, race, religion (btw I include car & GPU owners in that category LOL) and anything else that can be turned into a slanging match :smile:

I'm guilty of joining in too :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh dear - I really do wonder whether posting deals is worth while when things like this happen.

Yeah, I noticed that. And he's just been suspended. Be interested as to why... :man:

cool

Maybe so, but it's good to annoy a supermarket snob.

Can confirm not & sometimes it pays more than stated.

After I replied to him, I noticed that wasn't his first short-sighted post in this thread; his previous one inexplicably got quite a number of likes, so with his second post he was probably looking to add a bit of "humour"' in an attempt for more likes and failed massively.

There have been some really interesting and amusing comments in this post but the deal was not posted to cause any animosity between people, just to give people a choice of a potential deal if it worked for them. Clearly this deal will not suit everyone, as with all deals posted on this site, but I think we all need to respect the fact that everyone has a choice of where they wish to do their shop. Demanding evidence of people's savings in the form of 'Share the cart you bought?' is also not appropriate in my opinion but yet we see this so many times on other deals. Can we all possibly just be happy that some people have been able to save money from this deal and also appreciate that others make their own savings through their choices that they are entitled to make so everyone wins.

Well that's your opinion and 3 seem to agree with you, certainly not my experience whatsoever, I buy grapes, carrots, tomatoes, broccili potatoes etc from Aldi/Lidl and they have a decent shelf life with me, must be the way you store them. Maybe you like your veg irridated for longer shelf life, IDK. Incidentally I have worked on a farm where veg were packed in the field and there were several plastic bags, including Waitrose, M&S, Tescos, Sainsbury, Asda and Safeway/Morrison. This was before the advent of Aldi/Lidl.

Perhaps you are nonsensical

I never buy products which are likely to have a short shelf life online, just the bulky heavy stuff with long shelf lives which gets delivered to my doorstep for £1.

I sense envy.

Which HMP are you incarcerated in?

I love how all the waitrose elite are going on yet they are all on hot deals? This is a first time offer too so none of you will qualify and you are too upper class to try cheese the system with a new email address... so go back to your fridges of gold and tuck in

*BUYS ALL THE GLUTEN FREE* thankyou thankyou thankyou!!!

The Halifax cashback will work until midnight. You obviously know sweet FA about banking transactions and the actual recorded time of them.

Thanks very much - I usually use Ocado and spend around £75 a week on similar things every week and never used Waitrose before- just bought the same stuff on waitrose plus a load of additional items for £108 - £30 = £78 - £10 cashback when it comes through = £68.Voted hot. I will be back to using Ocado next week :smiley:

PS. for people moaning about the quality of meat....Go to your local butcher...it's cheaper and wayyyyyy better quality than ANY supermarket...fact.problem solved.

If you purchase John Lewis Partnership vouchers from Morrisons to pay for this you will get 7p off per litre of fuel. Buy the vouchers with your TSB Classic Plus account contactless card/Apple Pay and you will get 5% cashback on the £70. For me doing this last year that resulted in an extra £7 saving, though my TCB became payable at £0 so having to make a claim for that.

Easy. A relative of mine works there and gets us some 'fancy' things here and there. Some are very nice but 50% or so are terrible for what they cost. They certainly overcharge for the same branded things that are sold in the likes of Tesco etc so why on earth would anyone pay more for the same thing that can be got for much less. Some of their own lines are interesting but way overpriced for what they are.

when does this expire?

not dd3 area :disappointed:

Definitely. I am amazed at seeing what people get charged for the bits off a chicken.

found it 10 seconds after posting haha.

Thanks anyways

Good point and in fact I've not got any chicken in my order partly for this reason. Although a whole chicken is always a lot cheaper than just buying breast meat.

So what your saying,if the product is from waitrose it must be better with it being more expensive.Must be right if they sell a product exact same has lidl or aldi,all deluded enough to spend extra remember waitrose must have gold in some of their products am I right in thinking!!

If that's 100% true then why does the fresh stuff in Aldi go off/soft with a couple of days?
Morrisons is another that absolutely trash on fresh fruit and veg. 1 day MAX.

I tried really hard with Aldi but ended up having to throw so much away. I mean how do tomatos go soft and shrivelled in just one day? This does not happen with Tesco or Sainsbury's.

Aldi's meat is actually WORSE than Iceland and I never thought anyone could sink lower than them. I don't care if a whole chicken is £2 cheaper than Sainsburys et al. At least with them it wont be falling apart as soon as it touches heat.

BTW I don't shop at Waitrose. But these cheap supermarkets are not value for money. not in the slightest. They are cheaper, but cheaper for a reason.... the quality is not as great.

Great spot - thanks op!

Shame about the haters though... It's nice to have a choice where to shop.

Good deal. However I used waitrose last week(normally use Tesco). Delivery made Saturday pm, after unpacking I realised a number of items e.g ready meals, 12 pints of milk had use by days of Monday(much shorter than Tesco equivalents).

So I'd still use this deal to get dishwasher /washing tablets that's half price and stock up. I wouldn't use it for my weekly shop as they clearly send you the food with the shortest shelf life. I was very disappointed with Waitrose food wise.

John West is not dolphin friendly. I would gladly pay more to avoid their terrible fishing practises.

If you think the staff at Waitrose care any more then you're deluded! I can say from experience that the average staff member cares no more about the customers than anyone else, with the added bonus of laughing at the "snobs" behind their backs.

Though if the illusion of quality is what matters then Waitrose is the right place for you to be!

My town is a hole, yet we have a Waitrose. The only thing good about the place is the free coffee.

Anyone looking to fill their cart, I can recommend the Crosta and Mollica fresh pizza bases, currently on offer 2 for £3.50.

http://www.waitrose.com/shop/DisplayProductFlyout?productId=200263

Best shop bought bases since Boboli were discontinued years ago. Suitable for freezing, according to Ocado.

http://www.troyhunt.com/2016/01/thank-you-waitrose-now-fix-your.html?m=1 buyers beware

You will find such discrepancies in any supermarket. None of them are cathedrals of perfection.

Whereas I can buy a free-range chicken in Aldi for £5.

I thought it's a good deal till I saw prices of a first few products - 1 kg frozen Chicken Breast Fillets (Essential)- £6.5, fresh ones £12. What a joke, maybe this chicken is growned in Buckingham Palace?

To do a price comparison, I'm going to do my normal online shop for nearly identical items using three separate supermarkets and see if the Waitrose deal is any better.

The meat counter is superb too.

Their dry aged steak is phenomenal.

I doubt you would find this in Waitrose



Worse yet, the staff couldn't care less about it, its just another mouldy item on another shelf

http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/article1630044.ece

Must be hell being a supermarket shopper, like yourself. I have all my provisions flown in from freshly from their sources, now that's how real posh people do it. As for quality, on my dear, you'll never know.

Go to any vegetable packing station which deals with several super markets (most do) and you'll find Waitrose Tesco Morrisons Aldi and Lidl bags packing the same vegetables. "Depths of lidl and aldi"? Bit out of the loop aren't you?

Just be careful, if you click any link on this page, it can end up stealing your cashback as the HUKD Bribelinks COULD over ride cashback links, it happened to me a few times before, now I don't click any hotlinks from here :smiley:)

Please can you tell me me what TCB is? Thanks

Hands off our upmarket food your Lidl/Aldi visiting poor people

I don't go to supermarkets to meet old women. That's what bingo night's for

Thanks OP. Nice and clearly linked post. An absolute gem of a deal.....HEAT....

You meet a better class of older people at Waitrose........and the best cheese counter in any store....

​thanks, I was going to ask that too!

You can also use the 'checkout smart' app and get Aunt bessies Roast potatoes 907g for 60p and Tetley extra strong tea 75 teabags for a £1.
I've never used it before but works with waitrose.com :sunglasses:

Pheasant is out of season, you heathen pleb.

Why has this turned into an Aldi/Lidl vs Waitrose debate? I shop in Aldi and Lidl, too...

And I won't share my cart, no. However I did stock up a lot on Pepsi Max Cherry, which is our favourite, and is currently buy one get one free at Waitrose. Anywhere else that sells sixteen cans for £3.50?

Many thanks, OP.

Item total was £178.14; after savings, discount code and cashback, it comes to £59.75! :smile:

In aldi or lidl you can find exactly the same quality (just maybe poorer packaging) often for half the price

​For 20 items you should read 10.
Not sure where poster got 20 from.
It's been 10 since the 20% offer started

We live in a nice part of Norwich, but the waitrose here wont even deliver to us, they only seem to deliver to the immediate area they are in, which happens to be the most expensive area to live in, funny that.

superb deal :smiley:

Don't forget to do your my waitrose 20 percent off items too :=)

Waitrose must know that the good people of Hartlepool don't have a pot to pee in, hence no delivery to my home town.

No deliver to my address

I've got a great business idea.

Charge £100 for a chicken drumstick.

Offer 90% off.

If all you buy is s*** then this deal is probably not for you :smiley:

waitrose? if you can afford waitrose you don't need discounts.

Any ideas when code is due to expire?

We did this, Great deal with TCB, and deals. Ended up with £167.50's worth of shopping for £61.50. Really friendly delivery too, brought the bags in for us. Stocked up on items that were not overpriced in deals which really helped! Don't forget snap and save deals/Shoptize/checkout smart! Very Happy!

Looks to me like you can add a newspaper
and get that for free and maybe the price off your shop

Says 10 items on the link.

HEHHEHEHEHE

N I C E SUCKERS!

Ill stick to john west. I tried to get some of their meats but they are all basically oos... maybe everyone did this and bought meat?? Apart from meats everything else is cheaper but the same else where.

The halifax cash back deal wont work due to this not being charged until after the 7th so you wont get the 10% on that

brilliant!! thank you so much.... xx

Waitrose own tinned tuna fish is better quality than any other on the market- I've tried them all. give it a try it worth paying the extra!

VIP worthy deal

ta

Also Halifax account holders can get 10% cashback until 07/02/2015.

Then eat a lot! Let me decide where I want to spend my money and what I want to eat. Thanks...

that's the thing I prefer Quality! Most of food made in UK is just pure garbage , lidl/aldi is the ones which have most of the food imported from germany/belgium/netherlands

You should try their swan stuffed with caviar - simply delicious.

But seriously what's the point even shopping there when in the end still you get the terrible UK made food as in any other stores? Better off getting the much better quality imported food from aldi/lidl.

I heard you guys who shop at Waitrose eat solid gold?

Not quite. With a waitrose loyalty card you can choose 20 items from a selection of items on their shop to get 20% off.

How can branded items be better quality? they are the same items lol...

Brill, I didnt know about this. Wish I could give you double heat!

Fantastic deal - thank you

Wish it was Quidco. Heat.

Santander offer of 10% off using one of their cards

Got my order confirmation, seems a good deal to me with the £30 off, not ordered from waitrose before so it's a good offer to try it out and i saw an offer on homepage saying they give £50 off over your next 4 shops aswell (£10 off 1, £20 off another etc)

Cheers, definitely works on booze, two bottles of Llagavulin and some bits for 54 quid for me, I have 10% cashback on my Halifax account as well

How are waitrose for repeat first time customers? :man:

How do you get John Lewis vouchers at Morrisons?

I also think you are exaggerating,, It's not triple the price.

Currently stuck at register page, not good

Anyone else having problems adding products to basket? Think there might be some problems with the site at the moment

It is a cash back website, known as Top Cashback. Google it.

Can you do the 20% my waitrose thang on your first shop?

Thanks.

I've just done my first order.. great!....and when I went in to amend the order, it wouldn't let me use the code, as "it wasn't my first order"
so it was back up to £100!!

Will have a look for this

Great find for those that can get it!

Heat added

thanks for the quick reply knack i know where i'll be doing my next online shop cheers

Shame my freezer is full
Great way to stock up

heat added good find

i've done ocado before am i allowed to do waitrose also ? i know some waitrose products were included in my ocado shop so assume they are the same company ?

does it include wine/alcohol, or only groceries?

Hot!
