We shop at lots of different shops, & so long as the food doesn't have artificial colourings, flavourings & preservatives, & is preferably British, we will buy it. I love Value ranges too, especially things like baked beans, flour & pasta, though I do sometimes go totally mad & buy stuff from places like Carluccio's. One thing I do sometimes use Waitrose for is their excellent price reductions - reduced food is often 2 days ahead of it's 'use by date' & can be a bargain. But I certainly would never shop there exclusively, it's far too expensive.Karenjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05759086564626599394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576959142506128840.post-33729801109542679652012-09-28T00:01:56.910+01:002012-09-28T00:01:56.910+01:00I love getting the yellow ticket offers on sell by...I love getting the yellow ticket offers on sell by date foods, as they are all good for a couple of days & all at great prices. I've made some nice meals too. Well I have not managed to poison us yet!<br /><br />No, I'm not really a brand snob, he says, as he's typing this on his Apple Mac.

Who cares if a carrot is a bit wonky so long as it is fresh and grown in the UK? But I think it's probably different with processed foods or prepared meals. I would be wary of buying the cheapest sausages, wondering what the content is and the provenance of any meat. Not that posh packaging makes any difference, but I always think of a TV programme a few years ago about the origin of cheap chicken - it was frightening.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.com
