We're in the odd position of being in a town (Caldicot) that's no Montpelier or Clifton, yet our old medium Somerfield + small Co-op combo turned into a Waitrose and Co-op combo after those two merged. So a town that doesn't even run to a Lidl now has a Waitrose.
Supposedly Waitrose wanted the plum target of Chepstow (which isn't as posh as you'd think, but it's near the Wye valley pony set), but couldn't get the site and so went for the next best opportunity.
We love it. It's not really expensive, bean per bean, it's just that they sell more of the expensive good stuff and they don't sell the cheap grotties at all. A tin of Heinz though, it's the same price. Mostly though, we just buy the Red Label Diet 8-)
