The offers for next month aren’t that good. May offers are the yep yogurt. Big size. Tony’s loaded chocolate bar and £4 off a shop. I shop there anyway.
Have given my bag to my sister who works in a charity shop.

I've one bit of Le Creuset and it belonged to one of my great-grandma's so obviously super sentimental to me. Aside from the financial aspect of buying more, it's too bloody heavy for me!

Every time I've had the money to get a new piece, my sister makes me pick it up and if I can carry it to the till, it's an acceptable purchase. Alas, my immensely weak wrists hamper me every time so I look lovingly and walk away. However, I will get one of the mugs from my local branch this year. Sigh.

Some bits are so heavy I always say I don’t need the gym after cooking a big meal. My entire kitchen is Le Creuset, other than the glassware because I’m a klutz except I gave in and bought wine glasses at the factory sale last week. I managed to get the set stainless steel set for 400, rather than the £1300 it usually costs so I’m delighted with myself and promised my husband we won’t have a takeaway for atleast a month 😂

They’re actually pretty good to us! We get through a tonne of yoghurt and I like Tony’s.

I also find with the vouchers, for example, mine are expiring tomorrow, but I have been given exactly the same ones again. This has happened a couple of times. It’s fine cos they are relevant, but maybe I didn’t use them cos I didn’t need them, offer me something else! Not complaining though(much) cos still better than sparks, IMO.

I like the free pizza and the money off. Although £1.50 was a bit of a joke.
I like my deliveries from Waitrose. The fresh stuff always has long dates and is picked well. Other supermarkets always seem more expensive for us. It may be that our nearest Waitrose is quite small so not as much choice. It works for us though. Then I spend about £30 a fortnight picking stuff up at Tesco or Sainsbury’s that I cant get at Waitrose.
My daughter’s favourite at the moment is the stuffed olives from the deli selection. She has those and the stuffed peppers in her packed lunch. She is 20 though so I’m not boasting about a 5 year old with bougie taste 😂

The free juice is good as well as it was the big bottle. This week I had £2 off of pressed juice and I got the pomegranate one. Haven’t had it yet but it looks nice and the voucher made it half price.

Mine rotate weekly, I get the filtered milk every other week, and that is how long it takes me to get through

What terrible nonsense is this? Mine are often the same dog treats, cheese and chicken and bacon wrap on repeat. This has thrown because they're almost as bad as Marks' used to be.

Just checked and I have my usual vouchers, which I'm happy with. Only rogue item is Secret Centre Strawberries, never seen before, not sure if fridge or shelf item.

I only got two new ones, my stupid husband buys those rolls all the time I hate them and I won’t buy the dip. The first time I’ve had nothing useful.

I don’t think there’s a single Waitrose picky bit that I like. They’re always disappointing.

A few months ago, I had about four weeks of getting stupid vouchers. Those ice bags (when the weather was freezing cold), mushroom paste (I've never bought mushrooms - I hate them) and most insultingly, a cheap eye serum. Are they using the cameras at the self-service tills to see how old and tired I look? I emailed customer services to query it and was told that they like to offer customers vouchers for different products occasionally!

I really liked the sweet potato falafels, they're going in my Wimbledon picnic.
The strawberry centre things are in the fridge.
A friend tried the Alphonso Mango dessert (£7.50) and absolutely raved about it.

I'm not laughing at you @esk but the notion of them viewing the self-checkout footage for marketing purposes has tickled me. Especially as I always look like a scruff, covered in dog hair and a mardy expression on my face whilst buying rosé and treats.

@pommynoir you're right, their picky bits are poor. You'd think that would be a win for them but nope. Even the Co-op do it better than them.
