Waitrose Leaflet This Week

Waitrose offers this week: a 128-page October booklet, not a Thursday flyer

If you came looking for a one-sheet Waitrose leaflet, adjust expectations. The edition we hold is titled Waitrose October 2026, runs from 1 to 31 October and stretches to 128 pages, which makes it closer to a magazine than a pamphlet. Because edition dates shift from one catalogue to the next, treat the dates printed on the front of each edition as the schedule to follow.

Open the Waitrose leaflet this week page for the scan itself, or step back to the UK supermarket leaflets hub and the wider UK leaflets hub to compare it with the big four.

myWaitrose: the free card, Little Treats and the coffee

People ask "does waitrose have a loyalty card" and "how to get waitrose card". Yes: myWaitrose launched in late 2011, and Wikipedia stresses that it works on member offers rather than a points pile, unlike Clubcard or Nectar. You sign up free, through the app or by requesting a physical card.

The newest sweetener is Little Treats. Retail Gazette reported in November 2025 that, after a trial in 74 shops, members could earn up to three treats a month by hitting three monthly spend levels, with vouchers appearing in the online account or app and resetting each month. The same piece counts ten member benefits in all, including personalised discounts and a monthly copy of Waitrose Food magazine.

Then there is the free hot drink. MoneySavingExpert described, in January 2025, a free tea or coffee for cardholders from the self-serve machines in Waitrose and Little Waitrose shops, one per member per day, with some drinks such as hot chocolate left out, and not available at petrol-station or motorway sites. Search results disagreed on cup and purchase rules, so check the app for the current terms before you queue up.

Does Waitrose price match?

Return windows, refund methods and price-adjustment rules are not identical across stores or channels. Read the conditions at the till or on the receipt, and keep proof of purchase. Trade press historically covered a Branded Price Match against Tesco, which The Grocer reported at nearly 1,900 lines at one stage, but that is old and may well no longer apply. A separate matching arrangement we came across is run by Deliveroo for its Hop Waitrose service, which compares its own prices with Waitrose.com weekly; that is a Deliveroo scheme, not a Waitrose promise to you in the shop.

Waitrose opening hours on Sunday and bank holidays

Searches such as "is waitrose open on bank holiday monday", "waitrose opening hours sunday" and "what time does waitrose open on a sunday" show how many people check before setting out. A roundup from the Yorkshire Post group said most Waitrose shops trade 10am to 4pm on a bank holiday Monday, while those in Shell garages and Welcome Break services may differ. A single-branch listing gave the same Sunday window, but it is not an official source.

The reason is the Sunday Trading Act: in England and Wales, shops over 280 square metres can open for six hours between 10am and 6pm, so bigger branches commonly pick a six-hour slot, and the Act bars that exemption on Easter Day. This applies to England and Wales only. Small Little Waitrose shops sit under the threshold and can differ. Use the postcode finder on the official site for your branch.

Waitrose delivery, click and collect and other queries

Delivery turns up constantly in the suggestions: "waitrose delivery slots", "waitrose delivery pass", "waitrose click and collect minimum spend". Wikipedia records that Waitrose ended its Ocado partnership in September 2020 and expanded its own delivery operation, and ESM reported online sales up 13 percent in the year to January 2026. Store opening hours, holiday schedules, and loyalty participation can vary by specific branch location and municipal regulations. Local branch postings and shop-front signage give the schedule that actually applies to you.

"Does waitrose do meal deals" and "does waitrose sell halal meat" also appear.

Who is Waitrose?

Waite, Rose and Taylor opened as a small grocer in Acton, west London, in 1904, and the name shortened to Waitrose in 1908. The John Lewis Partnership bought it in 1937, and because the Partnership is employee-owned, staff are called partners. Wikipedia counted 329 shops in April 2023, 65 of them little Waitrose convenience shops, and reports plans announced in 2024 for 100 more convenience shops over five years. About 47 Waitrose shop-in-shops sit inside Dobbies garden centres.

Own-label is a big part of the pitch: Essential Waitrose is the value line, No. 1 is the premium range, and Duchy Organic came from rescuing the Duchy Originals brand in 2009. ESM reported sales up 7 percent to 8.5 billion pounds for the year to January 2026, with No. 1 sales up almost 30 percent.

Shoppers weighing it against the discounters often look at Aldi weekly offers or Lidl leaflet offers, while the mainstream rivals are Tesco leaflet this week and Sainsbury's offers this week.
