The downside with Waitrose
is that you need a mortgage to cover an elementary grocery shop.

We had to tell my mother that her John Lewis storecard would NOT work in Waitrose
because they'd have ended up homeless and I would have no house to inherit.

Don't we all! It would appear that my mother is spending my inheritance on crafts via QVC - One day my dad will see her bill and will cancel Sky - its the only way to stop her! Hehe

My mum would NEVER think of opening a stuffed cat museum in her deceased parents' semi
So I think I'm safe there.

People always say that
but I do most of my shopping with Ocado and M&S and they have the best offers on MEAT and the quality is AWESOME! :D

It actually costs me more when I go to Tesco as I just buy tons and tons of crap and assume it must be cheap as I'm shopping in a cheap-oh shop... this never ends up the case! :(

EDIT: You can get two 500g packs of proper lovely aberdeen angus mince from M&S for £4 - that's a bargain my friend! :D

That's only £1 worth of meat for a spag bog or chilli for two people!
That is a superb deal there.

They also have bacon in the same sort of deal and chicken legs and breasts - seriously people shouldn't knock M&S and Waitrose until they've had a proper wonder around and compared the prices to Tesco.

Waitrose actually price match against Tesco on Ocado all the time. I think Tesco don't bring up Waitrose on their adverts because they hope that people will continue to assume that their food costs megabucks!
