    Back to Waitrose


    So if I buy the apples on a mix and match deal.....3 for 2 £1.40 per pack........do I pay £2.80 less 20% for 3 bags or do I get discount on the 3 packs ........

    Considering how the 3 for £10 works I would GUESS that you get 20% off the full £4.20 despite paying only £2.80

    Are there any freebies in the latest magazine?:)

    I haven't looked. I'll only get a mag if I'm struggling to hit £5

    ^^^ what rose28454 said ^^^

    Some stores have a self serve coffee machine which is free with no minimum spend. In my store you can ask for a coffee at a manned till and they ring it up for you and give you a cup

    To get a paper free you need to "spend" £5 but the paper and coffee count as £2.75 of that £5.

    If you haven't got the most recent magazine you can get that free too (and it counts as another £1.20 of the £5)
    Also look out for Short beef ribs. They come wrapped not on the meat counter and seem to be reduced all the time. I cooked some in my slow cooker yesterday with swede carrot and onion and got enough for 4 meals for just over £3.00!. Also waitrose reductions at Xmas are great if you can hang around and wait on Xmas Eve


    Interesting I didnt know that about the magazine counting towards the £5.00. Thanks you live and learn.

    I think a happy mistake.
    But not as happy as the vodka mistake.

    I think that did well outweigh:T:T.
