- IS WAITROSE CHEAPER THAN ALDI?! Doing My WEEKLY Food Haul From Waitrose! ALDI VS WAITROSE 2023
Elo! Ok ok ok! This was a long time coming. We all know that food costs are increasing - but by how much?? Can I get my food shop from Waitrose for CHEAPER than I can get it from Aldi?? A Viewer of mine mentioned that they can get their shopping cheaper at Waitrose than they can from Aldi and I just HAD TO put this to the test! This is the ultimate Waitrose VS ALDI test!
Doing my usual weekly shop, that I'd normally go to Aldi for, from Waitrose. We then compare product by product with prices how much prices are from Aldi and how much prices of groceries are from Waitrose! I will also be filming a TASTE TEST and eating food from Waitrose for a week video to see how these items compare in taste test to Aldi products. ENJOY AND SUBSCRIBE!

Okok this was interesting 😅 what are your thoughts?!? Would really appreciate any thumbs up on this vid, purely because the amount of maths my brain had to do was painful 😂😘😘😘😘
I do not eat raw apples. i prefer them in deserts, preferably baked.
I saw a tiktok on this subject before - the misconception is M&S and waitrose are more expensive, then all the middle class people shop there and they end up getting cheaper prices on stuff like milk etc.
Actually turned out to be true 😂 my husband and I have a lidl, tesco, M&S and waitrose near us. And comparably the difference in cost was marginal - especially if you take into account our veg/fruit always seems to go instantly from lidl, and also the meat always seems to go off before the date 👀
And items it was more expensive either seemed to be better quality or to last so much longer 😅
I will have to disagree. ALDI especially fresh items are no way near as fresh as the Waitrose. Its a challenge to use them before they go off 😢 for that reason I've stopped doing my weekly shop at Aldi even though it costs more. I go to Sainsbury's and the quality is much better. Xxx
I always used to shop at Lidl or Aldi until I moved to Kensington 1 year ago and started shopping at the local Waitrose. I noticed that the selective shopping I've always actually turned out cheaper in Waitrose, especially their essential range, which quality wise is just as good as branded products. They also do some really good discount and regular voucher deals if you sign up for the card.
I do hear good things about Waitrose and their reasonably priced products!
I don't assume anywhere is cheaper anymore, it really depends what you're buying 😊
Loved this video, would love to see how other supermarkets compare!
🥰🥰
Tomatoes grow both indoors and outdoors. Growing your own, especially heirloom varieties is worth it. Same goes for cabbages including broccoli. Potatoes that have sprouted grow well in a sack filled with dirt but have to be well separated from tomatoes. Spring onions root ends regrow even rather densely planted in a flower pot. Sprouted garlic cloves can be planted and harvested for the stalks and scales and will still produce bulbs. Lemon and cinnamon basil make beautiful house plants in a sunny window, perfume the house and are delicious in hot and cold dishes. Nastier I I'm is beautiful on a garden wall or window sill and has delicious flowers that are high in lutein and make any salad spectacular. Strawberries are also good to grow.
I do have to agree with the commenter that inspired this video, I was doing an online Aldi order and it came to £83 soo I thought I would check Waitrose and it came to £55. That’s for 2 adults and a 10 month old! But great video as always 😊
I suppose it really must depend on what you’re buying! I found it super difficult to find cheaper alternatives to Aldi, but then we probably have totally different groceries! X
Really depends what you are buying
Thank you for proving the doubters wrong. I'm bored listening to aldi regulars complaining about the price rises and that they find alternative supermarkets much cheaper now. The reality is all food prices have risen, some quite dramatically, across all supermarkets but aldi is still good value and you have just proved that. Thank you 😀
You should do M&S as well. So many people online raving about M&S, I went in with a list and a lot of things were a lot more expensive xx
Definitely agree. Please please do m and s X
This is really interesting! I’ve started shopping in Sainsbury’s because of the Aldi price match (and it means I can also buy a couple of branded items as well rather than go to other shops). It just shows the price difference!!
I love Waitrose as a treat. Lovely quality fresh fruit and veg. Plus their gluten free own brand products like cakes and bread are excellent. Not cheap, but I like to go maybe once a month around pay day. I'm not loyal to one store. I shop around, especially in M&S for yellow stickers. Especially gluten free stuff again. I recommend shopping around different stores so you can get the best prices. For example, stock up once a month at Aldi on things like pantry staples like tinned stuff if you know they will be more expensive in Waitrose. Look for yellow stickers where possible. xx
Very informative ..... thankyou for doing that. I really enjoyed it. It would be great to see the comparison against other supermarkets x
Aldi has upped their prices quite a lot, so on many things there isn't much difference in price to likes of Waitrose.
This was really interesting. We don't have a Waitrose near us so it wouldn't be cost effective, otherwise I'd be going for the apples! On balance I think your shopping list (while very similar to my own) might not be the average shop and includes items that are more expensive in somewhere like Waitrose. I think a shop that didn't contain any "luxury" items and included things like chicken thighs, veg, fruit, cheese etc all from their essentials range could possibly work out the same, if not cheaper. Really i think it will just depend what you buy. The trick would probably to look up their prices online and compare but I don't have time for that 🤣
This is so interesting because my mom shops at Aldi, I bought her an M&S giftcard as a treat and she came back in disbelief that the essentials are not that different in price to Aldi? But you are tempted by the treats in there which are considerably more expensive ❤
How do the 2 stores compare when it comes to employee pay and benefits?
Waitrose staff are treated really well and our benefits are very good. however, we are not paid as highly as most other supermarkets...
Just started watching the video so excuse if someone has pointed this out already but the cream cheese from Waitrose has 50g more in the pack than your usual buy.
Should always compare kg price
Going to different shops for foods on offer is the best! You can save so much by making a list and going to a couple different shops. The most expensive one in my area often has discounted meat and bread that are much less than other shops. Def look up the deals and offers for the shops in your area :)
In times like these, These insights are very valuable. Thank you for doing this.
Thank you ♥️
Omg can you PLEASE do a comparison with aldi & lidl!
💯!! I think it’ll be super interesting!!
@@Sopherina I think the aldi/lidl debate would be very interesting 😂 out of all the supermarket chains I would say it’s these 2 that are competing to be the cheapest.
I’ve also seen floating about people saying M&S to be cheaper than aldi but again I think it’s dependent on what you buy because I have always known M&S & Waitrose to be dearer in price that other supermarkets
The main reason I prefer lidl is purely down to the depth of the shopping trolleys. My back aches after an Aldi shop as their trolleys are so deep. Lidl trolley base is higher up but perhaps longer. So its more painful for me to shop in Aldi, although I do love their food and prices. It could be just me though! It is difficult to fit a full large family shop in the mini trolleys, which are even better for me.
@@tiddlywinks456 yes I have endometriosis and suffer with pain daily. Once I’ve done an Aldi shop I’m absolutely written off! I’ve started doing a monthly shop so I don’t have to go as often which by the end I’m in agony but it means going there less lol. I love doing the food shop because I don’t go out because of my pain. But my god the pain in my pelvis and back when I’m done is so painful
Have you ever made chocolate ice cream out of bananas? I bought PB protein powder and wanted to use it in other things. So I went to their website, and I found a lot of recipes. I made some chocolate ice cream last night with it. It has 3 bananas ( frozen), 3 tablespoons of PB2, 2 tablespoons of Cocoa powder, 1/4 cup of almond milk or coconut milk. I have only seen the PB2 peanut butter. So I substituted the regular for the chocolate, and I used the other ingredients as stated. I used almond milk instead of coconut, because I already had it. After blending it all up, you put it in a container and freeze it overnight. Needless to say, I wound up having to add more milk…a little at a time. I tried a little taste this morning and it is really good. My bananas must not have been ripe as should have been, because I wound up adding a little honey and sugar to my mixture. I keep telling myself that it is still a lot healthier than regular ice cream. Which in America we all tend to love a lot of sugar! I am trying to use less sugar to be healthier. So, you may find it to be perfect as is. 😊
Really interesting! 👍
Hi, thank you for doing your shopping in Waitrose and comparing the prices, I found this very informative and very interesting. By the way, where I am from we call Spring Onions Scallions. Please take care and stay safe.
The content I never knew I needed 😮
I wud love a series that u try do a shop from a few different places. I have seen loads of people on tik tok doing M&S shops and top ups and saying it’s so affordable now 👍🏻
Very interesting video. Thanks for doing it. It must have taken a lot of time! Years ago a local newspaper would occasionally publish a basic shopping trip to compare prices from the two most popular grocery stores in my area ( before aldi and lidl came to my area). It was interesting to see it in black and white.
Another great idea is sharing/exchanging food and spice plants with friends, family, and neighbors so when you get ten or fifty plants sprouted out of one seed packet you are not stuck with it and together you can grow a large variety of heirloom organics.
What an interesting video! It was definitely be interesting to see this comparison with Aldi and Lidl and Aldi and Asda
I find going getting waitrose delivery much better since changing to aldi initially, I find the £3 delivery charge worth the charge not having to go to aldi the stressful tills and deciding what to get and not looking at middle isle. I actually spent less in waitrose. And better quality. Meat is expensive in waitrose but the deals make it worth it.
Are there click and collect Aldis in the UK?, we have them here in Ireland, they cost €5 but saves the stress at the tills especially for a big shop.
I'm not from the UK, but it's well known that Waitrose has always been known as the luxury British food store..but it was interesting seeing the price differences between Aldi and Waitrose, very eye opening. Appreciate you for sharing your findings Sophe, it was very helpful. Take care and have a lovely evening💜.
There is a potential even if the products come from the same field/farmer, there is a potential that farmers get more profit. I understand this is another thing to consider/feel guilty about but higher price doesn't necessarily mean more profit for the store only. Very interesting video, thanks.
Ooooh, that is a very good point 🙌🏻
Love Waitrose. Can’t shop anywhere else
Hi what a price difference...yes please would love a price comparison at other supermarkets please love your channel thank you for all your effort and time ❤
I tried lidl fairtrade chocolate and waitrose fairtrade. Waitrose tasted so much nicer!
This was such a good video. You do put alot of work into these. Much appreciated Sophie ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Sharon ♥️🥰🥰
Holy moly £8 for a pie, that’s crazy! I have found M&S have got some really good affordable things now, they have a range of fresh chicken for like £1.80 which is amazing!
Get your cucumbers from a asian supermarket 3 for £1.20 = 40p each 🎉
Wow that’s so interesting, thank you! Would love to see some other comparisons such as Tesco and Sainsbury’s vs Aldi x
I would ask - who supplies, how much profit and how accountable are each outlet to these questions? It's not and Aldi V Waitrose issue, this is just a bit bigger than that.
I’ve done this with Asda and Ocado and Aldi comes out cheaper every time. I love Aldi ❤xxx
Just love Aldi! ♥️
The soft cheese in aldi maybe cheaper but you get less, i suppose it depends if you need more soft cheese depending on what your using it for❤
I enjoyed this video even though we don't have waitrose here in Ireland. I'm finding lidl the cheapest here at the minute. I used to always do my grocery big shop in Aldi but I'm inclined to do most of my shopping in lidl now. Unfortunately I can no longer do my full shop in any supermarket due to stock issues. It's annoying 😊
Interesting sweetie but I think I noticed some of the weights were different the mixed veg from Aldi was 1kg the Waitrose was 750g so not the same price xx
You're right. We did get the overall gist of what Sophie was trying to convey though. I think on screen for different products we could see the price per gram. That's the way I compare when shopping.
Wow say you shopped every week and spent the £30 extra that’s £1500 a year a family holiday wowsers i know which I’d prefer
Loved this video. I’m an Aldi girl and will definitely be shopping there still. What a price difference! I am shocked when I go in Tesco’s and see their prices. X
Please do Tesco next x
Food is so expensive right now it’s stressing me 😢
Marks and Spencer on ocado
I agree how quick Aldi cashiers check out the groceries, but in my local Aldi you are greeted with a " hello,how are you ? " and usually " bye,enjoy the rest of your day !" In my city there isn't a Waitrose though we have numerous other types of supermarkets.
Ramble ramble ramble 😂 I do love you! Waitrose do shocking yellow sticker offers, they take hardly anything off 😮
Loved this ❤
This is a brilliant idea 👏😍
♥️
What a interesting video Sophie comparing prices between Aldi and waitrose I know the prices are going up but that's ridiculous £8 for that pie very pricy I would like you to do an Marks and Spencer video because everyone e keeps saying they are cheaper then Aldi and other supermarket have an great bank holiday weekend x
this was super interesting. I think there are many factors that can make one shop dearer than another. I think if your only option is Waitrose you will shop differently, some of your Waitrose items were quite high end. I live beside a Waitrose, but Aldi requires a taxi home so I would have to factor in that an Aldi bill needs £10-£12 added on for travel. But I do believe that the quality of Aldi foods far outstrip the quality of the foods many supermarkets price compare with Aldi (specifically Tesco and Sainsbury's budget ranges)
Thank you for this my lovely just love Orin take care 🥰 xxx
I think to get a true comparison you would need to go by the cost per weight.
Anyone that says Waitrose is on par with Aldi is dreaming.
If you can afford to shop at Waitrose good for you but the majority of food is the same.
If you want good quality that is affordable then learn to cook from scratch and put in the effort to learn what you like and how to cook it.
I think that waitrose is not as expensive as it used to be with some of their items, funnily enough I have booked a shop at waitress for next week to try!
I usually shop at sainsburys a sthey price much to aldi for around 300 product's and they have some budget brands which are great. I find their fresh produce lasts longer than our aldi, so it's more cost effective anyway.
I only go to aldi for some tins and snacks, that's about it, its sainsburys all the way for me but I was intrigued with waitrose but doubt it'll become regular for me x
Oh excited to watch this x
I’ve stopped shopping at aldi and started at tesco currently saving £20+ on my weekly food shop x
Buzzing for this vid! Honestly, genuinely interested to see is Waitrose is as expensive as I think it’ll be!! 😂
Those vegetables, you show the frozen ones which are the same price. The Aldi ones were a kilo and the Waitrose ones were 750 g
Waitrose is my closest supermarket and I sometimes end up there if I'm in a rush. Every time I get to the till I end up cursing at how bl**do expensive it is! I have friends that shop there and say it is fine if you stick to the essentials ranges but I find those are not very good quality and they cost the same as the normal ranges in another supermarket. I do like it for spices and things and bread sometimes but for a general shop it is crazy
Wow that pie cost 🫣
There’s so many ppl going to M&S and saying it’s cheaper than Aldi.. unfortunately I live on a Scottish island so I only have the co op so I can’t confirm or deny 😊 xx
Wow I’d love to see this. M&S is always so expensive I could never imagine it being as cheap as Aldi.
God i would have walked out Waitrose at them prices . I shop different places now , farmfoods,aldi asda as i have them near me . I know that can be hard with a little one though.
Such a great video! Please do the same with other supermarkets - maybe Asda?
I love Aldi ❤ I'm also not a fan of the huge selection on offer in other supermarkets - it's overwhelming & wastes so much time! And while the staff are more available (not necessarily nicer) elsewhere - it doesn't make a difference at all to how I shop. I've had very busy Aldi staff members very kindly go into the back to get things for me.
That said, I did find the Waitrose 19p potatoes we got around Christmas time SO good!
Anyway, thanks for this video :) x
Try making your own pies or other things you love but find pricy and see how the costs compare especially when you make a dozen at a time.
Cheapest food is the food that gets eaten and is not processed. But we will not go back to potatoes daily or the age of no snacking. Food should be the last thing people pull back on. There should be helps with energy.
🤣 who thought Waitrose is matching price wise? 😂 I laughed so much. They never have and never will be a match/cheaper. They never claim to be either. Yes you can get cheaper items from places like tesco and Asda but for overall costing Aldi/Lidl still can’t be matched.
Just shows the difference in price ranges Waitrose is part of the John Lewis company, obviously more expensive. love to all xxx
Wow! Some of those Waitrose prices are scandalous! 😮
Marks and Spencer food prices are coming down
Interesting video. I wouldn't normally go to Waitrose unless for a specific item. Some of the products you compared were different and sizes, you need to calculate the price per kg similar to what you did with the permasan. I noticed some of the packets were a larger size in Waitrose
Here in Scotland I find asda the cheapest around us. Better than aldi
Oh wow! Asda is well priced but not as cheap as my Aldi, well, I don't think so anyway! Will have to test it out! Xx
Thank you for this video, I started shopping in Aldi nearly a year ago now (changed from Asda) and food is literally going up everywhere no matter what! It’s nice to see the comparison between these supermarkets! £30 is a big difference, wow!
I’ve seen and heard that M&S is becoming more affordable and cheaper than Aldi but I still don’t believe that…
Aldi is defo the cheapest supermarket in the UK 🇬🇧 it could be different in other places in the UK but I’m in South Wales 🏴 and is still the cheapest 😆👍
I live in Australia and watch all "overseas" supermarket hauls
Yet ASADA more comparable in my opinion 😂😂😂
These sort of tests don’t factor in that Waitrose has higher animal welfare standards which obviously costs more. Interesting video but I just wanted to make that point!
They are not from the same place at all
Totally disagree with one of your replies to a comment. M and s are amazing and far better quality than aldi will ever be
Again veg is the same price but you get 250g more in aldi❤
cant do a aldi weekly shop food dont taste of anything and the fresh food goes of in 2 days aldi is not he cheapest supermarkets x
Aldi meat .......bloody awful animal standards .....
