#42 Shopping at Waitrose - Colchester, England

"We won't charge you a penny for delivery, not a sausage." With typical British humor, the ad for Waitrose sets the tone for a delightful shopping experience. What better way to see how the British live than to accompany Jen on a trip to her local grocer/market. Don enjoyed pushing the "trolley" for her.
Pictured left is the dessert case. Some of the choices were Tarte Au Citron, Strawberry and Raspberry Cheesecake and Black Currant Delice.








Waitrose is environmentally conscious and supports local producers. The store was sparkling clean and the staff was friendly (chatty), knowledgeable, and helpful. Don especially had fun interacting with them.










The meat and fish cases were beautifully stocked with New Zealand squid, fresh Anglesey Sea Bass Fillets, Breaded Icelandic Prime Cod Filet - Line Caught, and West Country lamb loin chops.

The Waitrose Weekend touts itself as the essential guide on what to do, watch, eat, cook, read, buy, and visit. That should cover it.

One of Don's summer jobs in high school was bagging groceries for Safeway in Sherman. He hasn't lost his touch.
