Waitrose in USA
Hi,
First post here, looks like it could be a useful website!
Can anyone suggest an equivalent supermarket to Waitrose? I will be living in San Francisco, CA.
Thanks
Andy

Re: Waitrose in USA
I love Trader Joes!!!!
Also maybe Whole Foods, not sure on the bigger chain supermarkets as they will be different from those we get on the East coast! I did like AJ's Fine Foods when we were in AZ but I have a feeling they are only AZ based.
What I'd give for a Tesco's over here though!

Whole Foods will probably be a good starting point if you are into more of the pricier food. Trader Joes is a good and cheaper alternative although their selection is somewhat less.

Slightly disappointed as looked on safeway website and food costs are about the same AND they dont sell indian curry cooking sauce!!!! Which means Im going to have to learn how to cook curry from scratch!!!

Re: Waitrose in USA
Dominicks is our local Safeway brand and they have a British section in most of the stores round here which always has the British curry sauces (Pataks). Of course we also have a rather large Indian contingent in these parts too which may have something to do with it.
Trader Joes also does a good line of them.
