An Early Morning Raid On Waitrose

This morning I needed the usual Saturday morning shopping and as I’m going to Wolverhampton later this morning to see Ipswich play, I went to Waitrose early.

Or should I say two Waitroses, as due to their stocking policy, neither  stocks all of my favourite gluten-free brands. First it was a visit to the littleWaitrose at Highbury Corner.

All I bought was a Genius brown loaf, as my previous one was past my view of an eat-by date. It was then on a 43 bus to the Angel.

And a walk round the corner to one of the smallest proper Waitroses in the country.

I got the rest of my shopping here.

Just One Bag And A Loaf

It was just one small bag and a loaf, when I got home.

I suppose I could go to another bigger Waitrose, but then I’d have the problem of finding things in an unfamiliar store. And the Genius brown bread, seems to only be in the littleWaitroses. and decent gluten-free sausages don’t seem to be in any shop in London.

I think the bread and sausage problem is the same.  Waitrose believes it’s own brands are good.  They are very very wrong!

At least today, I didn’t have to get any EatNatural cereal, as you can only get the vinefruit flavour in Sainsburys.  At least it’s at the Angel next to the Waitrose.

The chuggers were also still in their beds.

Where Are The Chuggers?

Or at least they hadn’t arrived yet!
