To be honest their value range is on par with other supermarkets value range, I like them because when they reduce items they really reduce them not by 10 pence, I also like that they sell ingredients that other supermarkets don't sell..I don't have a big waitrose near me I only have a little one but I tend to order things and get them delivered to their store... |

there's a mini Waitrose on the High St in Cardiff, and I call in there on a Monday night, and stock up on their yellow ticket items 
The reductions, as mentioned earlier, are really deep  |

"The reductions, as mentioned earlier, are really deep "
Getting a Higgedy Mushroom tart for 10p there once was one of my happiest moments ever!
I enjoy walking around and getting ideas, but have to say I do my main shop at Morrisons. |

Ive only used Waitrose for internet shopping never been into one of their shops, i have found they have the best self dates than anywhere else, when you buy salad etc from Asda or Tesco it usually only had a couple of days left on the best before date Waitrose has never sent me anything with less than 5 days |

"Good for a free cappuccino every day with my waitrose card
Don't you have to spend a tenner to get the "free" stuff or is that a fiver in the week and tenner at weekends?"
£5 weekdays and £10 weekends you're correct.
It's good if you are already buying something |

I used to live right next to Morrisons and used to pop in on my way home from work for the bargains. They sold bread for as little as 8p and cooked chickens for 50p. Tesco are the worse for rubbish reductions I think x |

I love waitrose but I tend to get the bulk of my shopping at aldi's as the food and cleaning materials are the same quality but much cheaper. Also the wine, olives, meats etc are also great at aldi's.  |

"Free coffee and newspapers though.. Kinda compensate that "
We pay for the freebies regardless in case anyone from the rolls Royce owners club sees us, wouldn't want them to think we were scrimping |

I love Waitrose. I use my card and get vouchers back that I used to buy my lipsticks and mascara. What's not to love?
John Spedan Lewis is one of my heroes for creating the Partnership. I like that they invest in their supply chains and supply much of their own stuff, produced here or through the Waitrose Foundation.
They don't just create jobs here they create wealth by ensuring Partners share in the profits. I don't mind paying a bit more for all of that.
I have just enjoyed a Waitrose Maple and Walnut choc ice cream. Yum.
My only gripe is this bloody new free coffee. I don't drink coffee and the smell makes me feel a bit sick. Having the machine right at the entrance next to the soft fruit really annoys me.

We get asked if we wanted a free coffee even if we buy a sweet?
Mind you every time i say yes they always have to change or refill when i get there  so i end up going without or would be late for the children. Every bloomin time without fail  |

"Like earlier place said.. They look after their staff, really look after them!"
My mother was a John Lewis Partner and her bonus some years made not a bit of difference but a significant difference. Even long retired she still gets things from them.

I`m sure a lot of the Asian restraunts near my local Tesco get their stock fromthe reduced fruit and veg section! I`ve seen two women go out with two trollies filled with reduced salad stuff! And yes, they are like vultures in there too!  |

in a very lovely place for the most part,, just a nightmare to get to some places..
oh and 20miles may take 30mins in some places,, would realistically take about 50 mins round here |

I was told that Waitrose is where people go when they think Fortnum and Masons is too cheap. They were right. For some basic produce Aldi is the same quality but less than half the price. |
