Oh Waitrose. My older brother seems to think that I’ve got my priorities wrong as a relatively new graduate who is a little bit unemployed shopping in Waitrose. But he is missing the finer supermarket shopping experiences in life. It is often accused as the middle class, overpriced spot to shop. Whilst there are your fair share of fancy cars in the car park and mummy’s debating which brand of gourmet baby food to buy it is one of the gooduns’. As supermarkets go Waitrose seem to treat their staff well, support local community, have a wider range of products available and all in all appear a friendlier place to shop. Split your shopping between here and some local places for fresh produce and I don’t mind spending a few extra pennies for some happier faces.

Of course all the other points remain, Waitrose remains an actual enjoyable experience when it comes to shopping for your goods. However, my discovery today that they sell Thai Sweet Basil(for your green curries and the like) has once again upped my happiness levels of the place. Still far too expensive for me to be a proper regular, and many odd looks came my way for wearing a kaftan into the shop(it was hang over day, and I suppose I did look a bit strange) but I’m delighted that I’ve finally the finishing touch to make a perfect Gang Kiew Wan. I also really enjoy getting my green token, and passing it on to local charities. Waitrose for the winzies.
