'Will I go back? Probably not, but not because I didn't like it or I thought there was anything particularly bad about it.' 👀🛍

And after my first ever visit to the supermarket, that hasn't changed, only now I also know where I can pick up some venison and caviar when I am in a culinary bind.

Snooping at the shelves, I did feel a bit like a food tourist, 'Oooh look veal', I said to my less-than-impressed teenage son. I have never seen or eaten veal so looking at the price tag of £4.83 for a 'bone-in sirloin steak', I have no frame of reference as to whether this is good or not. But the produce feels curated and, to me, it feels like it is in keeping with its humble beginnings as a small grocery in West London in 1904, founded by Wallace Waite, Arthur Rose and David Taylor. I felt like I could still imagine the same conversations going on at Waitrose HQ about which apples are best, as the three grocers had on the streets of the capital city. With more than 330 stores country-wide, it can't be easy.

A big bag of 'less than perfect' potatoes was £1.25, bread was available for 75p and, while it was an offer, £3 for 100 Twinings teabags is great value . Four pints of milk was only 5p more expensive than ASDA and there were plenty of yellow stickers, which I of course had a good browse through.
