Waitrose jumbo king prawns £4.99 pay £2

pjran

You need to have a MyWaitrose card, pick the jumbo King prawns as one of your 20% off purchases. The standard offer at the moment is buy two packs of these prawns for £6, which is a good offer but use your MyWaitrose card and you get 20% off full price. So you get two packs for about £4, fab offer, these are my favourite prawns.

You can freeze these too. Of course I have several packs, maybe a dozen, in the freezer for later.

The 150g packs? £4.99 each normally (outrageous!) and £4.80 for two packs (£2.40 each) with the 20% myWaitrose discount if you add it to your 'picks'.

Even with the offer, this works out at £15.99 per kilo - as against the standard price of £12.50 per kilo for the Aldi version.

I've tried both - there's very little difference.

These prawns are absolutely delicious.

I'm afraid your calculations are a bit miss, it's £4.99 X 2 - 20% that's the amount deducted from the £6. So it works out at approx £2 per pack.

I love prawns ,but sadly after having food poisoning from dodgy ones I seem to have developed an allergy towards them. I wish I could buy some especially as I have a My Waitrose card:(

My apologies. Didn't realise they took the discount off the gross figure. £13.33 per kilo then, as against Aldi's standard £12.50.

A decent enough offer at that price but at full price I'm amazed they sell any. They really are indistinguishable from the Aldi version.

Not everyone has access to a Aldi so this is a great deal for those of us that can't get to an Aldi.

Absolutely agree with you. I'm just commenting on the huge pricing differences between the two stores for what is essentially the same product.

And up here ''North of Watford'', Aldi is everywhere [my nearest 1 mile] and Waitrose like hens' teeth [nearest 12 miles]

We can all play that game. I can walk to Waitrose. The nearest Aldi is 3 miles away.

I prefer not to walk 3 miles with shopping, so there are transport costs to add, whether car or a bus journey needing 2 buses.
