Being part of the John Lewis group, Waitrose has some kudos for being an employee-owned partnership…read morebut their prices have always been that bit higher than the other supermarkets. Hence my aversion to shop here for the staples but I found it useful to pick up certain rare ingredients such as squid ink over the years. I've also been a fan of their free laminated menu cards available just after the checkout counters - you can buy special storage boxes to keep these in. However, Waitrose have had a bit of a renaissance in the last year, thanks to their stroke of marketing genius by involving Heston Blumenthal of 3 Michelin star Fat Duck fame to write recipes for them, where you can only get the ingredients from Waitrose. Running TV adverts demonstrating those simple recipes and simultaneously discounting those ingredients in-store is such a clever idea - a recent example I remember is during the recent English asparagus season when it was paired with lapsang-suchong tea-smoked salmon and dunked in soft boiled eggs. Heston's special Christmas pudding also brought so many customers into Waitrose last Christmas that it sold out weeks before the big day. So hats off to you, Waitrose for recognising this man's genius and using it to your advantage

On a serious note if you're a fan of German stuff then be prepared to meat (pun intended) your dream shop, because they have a great selection of dried meats, cheeses and other schnitzel, at danke (street talk now, keep up) prices. I actually love the food here and it's pretty cheap. They also get random STUFF in once a month for a laugh to make you wonder if you accidentally wondered into your local budget hardware shop. They have stollen at Christmas and it's delightful. You're welcome. Car park is free if you're shopping in there, but don't try and park there to go for a cheeky free trip into town because they have cameras now.

After the pummelling that Tesco has handed out to other supermarket retailers in recent years, it's…read morebeen a tough haul back for those other brands. However, Sainsburys has been fighting back and I believe it has achieved it by infusing its supermarkets with an air of quality. This Sainsburys is the only large supermarket in Leatherhead town centre and is conveniently located about 5 minutes drive from my workplace. It's quite cool in having its own dedicated lift to the Swan Centre car park. Sainsburys seem to have made their shops brighter and easier to navigate. They also seem to be quite innovative, for example allowing their customers who hold Nectar cards to get a handheld scanner and scan their items as they put goods in their basket and go to a shorter queue and pay what's on the scanner (random checks are carried out to make sure customers are ahem scanning properly) My only criticism is that sometimes queues can build up at the normal checkouts. Perhaps they could do with flexible workers who can open up extra checkout lanes at busy times, like they have at Tesco. Truth be told, I sometimes shop here as it's convenient rather than cheap but at least Sainsburys are making it a pleasant experience.
