MOST EXPENSIVE SUPERMARKET UK | Waitrose Shopping Haul

[@Gizgirl70]

Waitrose kept me sane when I lived in the UK, having moved over from Germany I could get the dark rye bread and those glasses of pickled herrings in dill sauce ... and now in Berlin I am craving Heinz salad cream and Branston pickle :D

[@leeshc5952]

USA here! I would absolutely love a store like that here. The food selections look amazing especially for the price!

[@TheUluxian]

It wouldn't be a perfect Friday without a visit from Hannah!

[@susanconnolly4931]

Totally agree! ❤️

[@gilicohen8806]

you are my comfort youtuber now! miss your vids❤

[@cathenglish4985]

I live in a small market town and Waitrose is the main supermarket here. I used to think it was hugely expensive but actually they have really good offers and discounts on so you can shop well. The Itsu range is good btw - their gyoza and bao buns are delicious!

[@Cayres9]

Agreed as I work for Waitrose and if you look at the prices they are literally not expensive at all like on average 20p more an item than Tesco

[@abramojames8gmailcom]

Hello 👋

[@babytt8487]

I love Waitrose yes it maybe a little expensive however the food quality is 2nd to none.

[@EK.shortsentertainment]

The Waitrose I visit is in Hexham, its quite a distance from me but if we are in the area, I insist on visiting. Last time I was there a woman was talking to her dog and I burst out laughing because she said "Come along David!" 😂

[@Cayres9]

@@EK.shortsentertainment lol I work for Waitrose in Sunningdale and yes some of the rich customers are bonkers 🤣👍

[@hazeljayne]

Just came here to say: I live in a major east coast US city and even taking into consideration the exchange rate… the prices as this “expensive” grocery store would be fabulous in the US! It’s seems like super quality foods, semi-prepared foods, good stuff for reasonable prices. In the last three months my grocery bill has increased 25%, when getting the same products. Ugh. Everything is out of reach level expensive in the states right now.

[@hazeljayne]

Honestly thinking of ordering my groceries from the UK and shipping them to the US. Would still probably be cheaper than shopping in the states hahaha

[@Durgesuth]

Uk has very good Supermarkets from bargain basement to high end quality… Marks & Spencer food is very good and reasonably priced…. Waitrose is part of John Lewis which is a high end brand …. Good for the special purchases that cannot be found elsewhere

[@maryannspicher]

Central Pennsylvania is bad too. For instance, a tiny cheap frozen pizza here is more than the high end one there. Sometimes they put berries on special 2 packages for $6-7. Everything is up.

[@ellabraitman6336]

@@maryannspicher You should come to Israel, in the best case one pack of berries will cost like this. And everything else is way more expensive.

I would love some (all)this quality here in Virginia, Traders Joe's is good but I still would like a better (bigger) selection.

Your videos are so much fun! I love seeing your appreciation for where you live and going out and exploring as a local. You're a great commentator!

[@johnorchin8567]

Hi Hannah I wonder how many people choose the supermarket most accessible to them. Often Waitrose stores are more accessible for elderly people without their own transport than the other supermarkets, which are more likely to be located on the edge of town. It also has a less frantic atmosphere, these are both valid considerations when choosing where to shop.

[@TarrelScot]

We house-sit for friends sometimes, in a town where Waitrose is the main supermarket. Seriously, I can never spend less than 40 quid. Even if I went in for a pack of crisps, it would probably be 40 quid! They must have a "round it up to 40 quid" button at the till.

[@nancymartin8191]

I'm surpised at the number of fresh items like fruits that are wrapped in plastic, it's not like that in Montreal (Canada). And te prices, oh I wish I lived in the UK...but here we have cheap electricity so 😉

[@annaburch3200]

You are just so fun! My husband was blown away at how cheap the Oatly was!! It's about $4.50-$5 here. 😳 Those strawberries looked wonderful. Mmmmm! I hope you survived the heat ok. It's going to be in the high 90's F here (Seattle), next week, which is like being in the UK with extreme heat. No A/C. Blah! Gotta go stock up on popsicles (ice lollies). 😊👍 Take care.

Wow! I've never seen such a large selection of products in an American grocery store. Even in the LA area.

My main shopping is done in Waitrose, in person or (for heavy and bulky stuff) delivered. Not only do they have a good selection, their customer service is fantastic. Just wish they'd open up the coffee stations again.

The free coffee is now back. Still have to buy something though.

Hi Hannah. Just to let you know that on a recent visit to the UK and with nothing in particular to do one day, I remembered your walk from Little Venice to Camden Lock, so off I went! Had a great day walking along the canal and poking about in Camden Market. Your vlogs are always interesting and entertaining. Keep up the good work!

[@HannahRicketts]

The variety here is WAY better than Trader Joes. I would say more like a Central Market, Whole Foods or Sprouts. And that fruit seems reasonably priced even with the USD conversion. Thanks for the UK shopping experience!

Your supermarket vlogs are always so cool and I like so much when you drive around the cityl!!! Hannah, I always try to compare the prices in the UK with the prices from our supermarkets in Brazil, and I can see how good prices you have there, here in the City of Rio de Janeiro - Brazil, where I live, many similar products here sometimes have almost the same value/price in our currency, while other products are much more expensive here than the prices in the UK. I liked a lot your vlog! Have a wonderful friday!

Hi Hannah, 'happy start to the UK weekend' - Love your Waitrose shop. There's a Waitrose where I live in Exeter, I rarely visit. I tend to shop in Waitrose for Christmas/Easter treats.. But the Yorkshire Tea was a really good price. I usually shop at Sainsbury's and Aldi and find that while browsing food shops I end up spending a fortune as I see, grab, and spend.

[@jmgaz82]

I’m an American who loves going to the shops with you. Fun and interesting to see all of the different brands/types of foods etc.. Hope you enjoyed the Yorkshire tea. I bought my first box (Yorkshire) a few weeks ago and really enjoy it. 😊

[@russell.s4771]

Hi, the store reflects the demographic of a big city with many customers having a higher priority on convenience than on price. Outside of cities the stores have a higher proportion of less prepared fresh meat, poultry, fish, fruit and vegetables mainly because of cost. Most UK stores will have a good variety of whole melons, but yes nectarines and peaches tend to come prepackaged unless you go to specialist retailers or markets. They used to be sold loose in supermarkets but that practice has died out possibly because of handling damage.

[@naelissimmer4152]

I love grocery stores, so I really enjoyed this. Funny thing, though, I have been shopping via the app and picking it up from curbside for so long now! One of these days I have to go back inside and see if I’m missing out. Doubt it, but you never know. Hope your niece’s birthday was wonderful! I most especially enjoyed the bits of you talking in your car. Bad Tesla! Thank you for sharing, Hannah!

Peaches with chicken sautéed or even microwaved are delicious. Experiment with adding fruits before you pitch them. Great 👍 video 💕😊

[@antoinettehiggins4527]

That shopping spree was about the equivalent of $130. In our area Trader's is one of the cheaper stores (Lidl and Aldi being the best). Different cheeses, local and imported, are up to $10 a pound cheaper at Trader's than at the nearby Wegman's. I could not believe it when I did a price comparison. Love Trader's!

I live in both U.K. and USA. The nearest equivalent to Waitrose is not Trader Joe’s which is owned by Aldi, TJ’s ranges are really limited by comparison, it has far far fewer fresh or preservative free goods, and it’s not quite as upmarket. Whole Foods is a bit closer but by British standards it’s insanely expensive, it’s like shopping at Selfridges or Harrods Food Halls.

Shopped at the Waitrose while visiting Bath. Loved the store, so many wonderful things! Still, we were there during a heat wave, and none of the refrigerated coolers were working well enough to keep the food in the displays, so no milk, butter, etc. Such great prices for PJ tips in a giant box, compared to the US, so much in the chocolate bar selection. Loved the fresh pastries and custards. When they were able to restock the coolers, people were queing up. They had so many mark downs that we were able to get all kinds of interesting things. Pre-made yorkshire pudding, triffle, lamb dinners. I can't imagine if I just wanted a treat that I could purchase those things at the local grocery. The variety and quality compared to so much "pre-made" food in US is amazing. Typically just fried / junk food. US chocolate is not the same...even Cadbury...

At first glance, I wouldn't say Waitrose is like Trader Joe's here in the US. It's more like Whole Foods, but everything is more pre-packaged and available on the shelf. Some things in Whole Foods are like that, but I like that you can pick and choose what you're going to eat that day and in the next few days and take them home and have them ready to eat.
