Waitrose commercial planner, Leyla Page said: “We’re helping customers tick off their shopping list for less this January with some great offers across a whole range of products, from chicken and mince to canned tomatoes, laundry detergent, tea and toothpaste.
“With the cost of living crisis, we know customers are keener than ever to find a good deal. That’s why we introduced ‘Waitrose Ways to Spend Less’, highlighting value-for-money deals that customers can take advantage of all year round.”
The items listed here in Waitrose as being staples with 50% savings are neither savings not staples. How on earth can items such as teeth whitening and gum or HEINZ beans be called staples? Heinz beans are MUCH more expensive than their essential range and none of the items mentioned are staples.
