The Laziest Food Shop In England 

You may kill plants but you keep your RU-vid channel alive with superb videos and lots of happy subscribers who adore you..

I am chronically ill and M&S is often a life saver if I am too ill to prep or cook. I know I can get a few pre made healthy things. With the cost of food everywhere pretty high in the UK it honestly all balances out. People often think of this kind of food as lazy but if you are sick it can really help you out

American here. That's a great price for all that food. Definitely worth it. Good quality too.

American here. We often shop at M & S when in London because we stay for 1-2 weeks at a time and save money by eating from grocery stores or small shops versus restaurants, plus it’s healthier. We enjoy the cultural experience of shopping there too. Food is 10-30% higher here and in the US it’s often taxed 6-10%, varies by state. Items like those bakery goods, cheese trays, etc. are convenient for tourists. Crossing my fingers that your new Labor government will work to lower your energy costs! Thanks for taking us shopping, Hannah!!

I would love to see you and Nat have an afternoon tea at home. Take us shopping to buy all the pre-made food, then how you decorate the table, then rate what you bought.

As you’ve mentioned Hannah, many of us viewers are amazed at the selection of prepared and semi-prepared foods in UK supermarkets. Would love for you, and perhaps your sister too!, to do a “picnic basket” tasting review of popular categories of packaged foods suitable for a picnic in the park. Kinda like how the 2 of you review tea time foods? Might be interesting and helpful for us visitors to London!

Happy 200th Video, Hannah! Just in case you're seeing likes for your oldest content and thinking "what is going on here?!", my BF and I are currently working our way through all the ones we haven't seen because we enjoy your content so much. You are our after dinner treat with a cuppa☕💜 Have a wonderful weekend!

I would love for anyone who criticises British food to watch this. Everything looks so yummy and fresh 🤤

Thanks Hannah. When I was in London last year, my friend and I stayed about two blocks from that exact M&S. Every night we stopped by to pick up something for dinner and breakfast the next day. In two weeks I think we only ate out 4 times. Just loved M&S! And yes, to us in Los Angeles, the food there is so cheap!

You hit the nail on the head with your comment about US viewers and food prices. Every time I watch a UK video with food shopping I am shocked to see how inexpensive food is compared to the US. I love M&S Food Hall visits when I am in the UK and make sure to always stop in to stock up on their milk chocolate teacakes as I am addicted. Enjoy your videos and being able to see sights around London as I have not managed to visit is several years.

Yet another American here. I was in Scotland in May with my cousins. We shopped at M & S and thought the prices were very reasonable! We bought not only food, but laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, paper towels, paper cups, paper napkins, and the like to use at our Airbnb. We had an overflowing cart and it cost 161 pounds! Everything we bought would have been twice the cost at home! Lovely store, that M & S! We loved everything we bought!

From a fan in the USA, “beige picky bits” is my new favorite phrase! It’s no longer drinks and apps at my house, it’s cocktails and beige picky bits!

You’ve got it wrong, the value range in M&S is cheaper than Aldi, the fresh chicken £1.50 for two chicken quarters, £1.75 for wings, value vegetables less than other supermarkets and the quality is second to none, Hannah if you don’t believe me check all the supermarkets out. The expensive items are meat and fish but having said that the flavour, the quality, excellent. XX

“Before you know it we are broke” too funny!

My husband and i so enjoy your vlogs. They are humorous and informative at the same time. We loved the one you did recently of Kew Gardens. It took me back to my childhood. Please never stop Hannah. We love M&S as the choice is fantastic. We love any videos to do with food. As long as you continue to make them, we will watch them.❤❤

Please do a monthly food vlog, it's absolutely gorgeous to see and hear you go shopping! We used to have a M & S here in Frankfurt, Germany, but that was back in the 2000s. I loved the sandwiches, they were really yummy!!!

American here - I wish I had a place nearby with all that amazing variety of prepared meals, particularly as I'm about to have a baby. The convenience of healthy, premade, and delicious food options is fantastic.

I know there are many food options these days but for me M&S is still M&S. Thanks Hannah 😊

M&S have AMAZING deals on some of their price-locked basics like packet rice, pasta and canned soups. Often the same or cheaper than Lidl and twice the quality. I love M&S

I do like black pudding…..it’s a must with a Full English breakfast when staying in a hotel.

That was fascinating - Canadian prices have gone through the roof!! Thanks for taking us to M&S ❤

Love love M&S… Shopped at M&S for longer than I care to remember 🛍️🛍️🛍️

Yay it's Friday with Hannah

Wow Hannah , really enjoyed this video. Here in Canada , the costs would be at least 30% more than the prices you showed. Your prices are so cheap !

Erewhon is like an even more expensive Whole Foods rather than M&S. I wish we had something like M&S Foods in LA. Sometime I just want a lot of grab and go options!

The food that you gasp at the price, that's how much everything costs in the US 😆 Thanks for taking the time with us, Hannah, have a great weekend!!

We save your videos for our Hannah Sundays and we love them!! Food shopping and afternoon teas are our favorites, but we love everything you do. It allows us to feel like we are in our beloved UK without the expense of traveling across the pond. Thank you for all you do for us, Hannah. You are the best!!

The Co Op is far more expensive than M&S.😕

Loved your commentary - always witty and warm. (So many vloggers are a bit dull. You are always interesting!) Cornish ice cream is amazing. And, as you say, M&S is such great quality. I really enjoyed this vlog!👍👍

I do my weekly shop at Ocado because you can’t beat the quality of M&S food. Not too expensive to be honest and do a price match with tesco so if I buy products that are cheaper they refund the difference, I’m far from middle class I’m a single working mum who has to watch the pennies, prices in M&S are not too bad

Wow, Hannah a monthly food vlog will be wonderful indeed. This M&S vlog is so cool! It really has very good products and the prices seem to be good too. I think that sometimes it's worth to pay a little bit more, when you know the shop has a very good variety of high quality products as those ones you showed. Hannah, have a lovely Friday! 😎🌞💐🌹🌻🌷

Watched this as my 3 year old fell asleep. She loved your voice. And she was so happy you are called Hannah, same as her fav preschool teacher

Yes, a food blog every month sounds good. Love it, love ya! Thank you 😃

M&S has great food choices and love picking up treats for a picnic in the park.

Yes, the the food shop vlogs have become my favorite. Please do many more of them.

The Queen of RU-vid has given us another great vlog. Thanks for sharing a great foodie place with us. You look cool in all your sunnies. 😎 Have a great weekend. 🌹🔥❤️

Greetings Hannah! Compared to Canadian food prices, you pay a mere fraction!! A divided tray of various cut-up/prepared melon, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple and dip is $20.00 just outside of Toronto. That’s not even the “large” platter…. A very small frozen lobster tail is $15.99! Organic eggs:$8.00 a dozen. “”Regular” eggs $4++…. A large carton of milk: $6.50 or more. A 1100 sq foot bungalow in a suburb outside of Toronto goes for $1.2 Million, not renovated in the last 40++ years!! Our cost of living is outrageous. We envy you your food prices!!! Thank you for taking us along for the adventures!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Red grapes, red wine - ALWAYS! My husband loves & misses the black pudding from our beloved visits to the UK. We hope to get back there next year! ❤ 🇺🇲 🇬🇧

I'm a Waitrose/Marks and Sparks girl...this both brought me comfort and homesickness, simultaneously. Im now begging my family to send me a care package solely filled with M&S if it can make it to New Orleans without melting. ❤💔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

I have waited patiently for this video! The only thing I miss after moving to NZ 27 years ago, and the first place I go to when I have a trip home. ❤ Thanks Hannah.

Brilliant vlog Hannah!!😊 it's not any food!! it's M&S food!! keep up the excellent work Hannah 😊

Hi Hannah Great energy in your vlog. More dogs please!! Poached pears are great with porridge for breakfast.

Black pudding is absolutely amazing 😋 Scrumdiddlyumptious

First lol 😂. Already love the lipstick shade. Watching it all the way through. Hannah 🎉Friday’s 😊

The M&S Food Hall in Marble Arch (across from Selfridge's is our regular food store in our annual monthly visit to London. Our place is only 3 blocks from the Food Hall, so we walk there and shop every other day. They have an in store bakery and we love their fresh cranberry and nut loaves. Nice fresh fish. I also go to the back of stack of food to get the longest to outdate product. We don't buy to go prepared food, but many people working around Oxford Street and Marble Arch buy their lunches there. We find the prices reasonable, cheaper than the Waitrose down the street in the ground floor of John Lewis. There are no other big grocery stores nearby.

Happy Friday Hannah! London looking beautiful as ever. I shop weekly at M and S . Once you've tried the products, fresh and frozen, no one else can beat it! ❤❤❤

Hi Hannah, American here. Love your videos. We have a Whole Foods and Erewhon here in Santa Monica, and they are way, way more expensive than M&S. M&S may cost a bit more than Tesco, but M&S is higher quality. Plus we love M&S's sandwiches for a lunch in the park. We won't book a place to stay in London if it's not close to a full M&S or a Simply Food.

I'm # 935 Thank You From Missouri. I think at times a three-headed Hannah might be just what I need😀. The 8-pack of Coca-Cola seems to be only $1.15 more in the UK. Sometimes when I make pancakes I make extra and put in fridge for next day, tastes great cold. Thanks for making me hip to Colin the Caterpillar & Percy the Pig. It's always great fun shopping along with You. When I was last in the UK, I remember a food truck selling "Fish & Chips" my fav, in Ipswitch. ALSO just to mention You should try Sliced avocado with just salt and fresh lemon squeezed. And when I was growing up my mother taught me to make, and I still do: Fried Eggplant Slices, just egg and flour and salt. Cheers💜

Having been to the Beverly Hills Erewhon many times- It's nothing like M&S Food Hall (which I shop at 4 visits a year). Erewhon has no holiday spirit such as Christmas decor and treats. I shop at this M&S because I find it so inexpensive compared to American food shops. I buy the Erewhon smoothies for 18.00. My friend purchased the ingredients at Erewhon for a pizza. The total was 150.00! I've purchased oxygen infused water at erewhon for 20.00. That being said my utility bill for electricity is typically 60.00 a month even in the winter with heat. Now I'm craving the M&S smoked salmon sandwich. so good and so simple!

Im a Brit over in Massachusetts for one more year and yes the food prices are 40-60% higher and of a far lower quality. When we are shopping we spend most of the time in the supermarket looking at the ingredients and putting it back. High fructose syrup, GMO, dangerous food colouring, hormone injected beef, bleach washed chicken, trans fats and farmed salmon feed with artificial colouring to give the fish a brighter red colour. All banned in UK & EU. As for the bread its full or sugar, why? We mostly buy organic but that puts the price up even more so that basket you brought if you could find it all would be at least $120 and lower quality. Considering the Uk is out of the single market so the costs of bringing in Eu imports is higher now but still much lower than the States and they are self sufficient in most of their produce. It's just a rip off but. Lastly the packaging on most food looks as though it's been designed in the 1950's and never updated. Only one more year!!

Erewhon was started way back when, as a place where you could get macrobiotic supplies; brown rice, miso, sea weed and a bunch of stuff you couldn’t get anywhere else. Much has changed.

OMG, the food in this video looks amazing. I wish I could shop in that store. Thank you, Hannah, for such a great video.

I really enjoy your shopping videos. My sister and I were in London last September and visited the places you show in your videos in central London. A difference that I noticed between the food in London compared to where I live in Canada is that the serving sizes are smaller. For instance, for a pack of buns, the buns would be packaged in 8 or 12 buns per package. Also, the meat packages show 4 servings of meat, whereas in Canada it would be at least 8 servings. Honestly, in my opinion, we don't need such big serving sizes. Your cost of 42 pounds would be about 75 Canadian dollars. I absolutely fell in love with London and hope to visit again soon. Thanks for your videos!

You can't beat M&S for food! 👌🏻 I do my big food shop every week there.....But in Berkhampstead. They do a wild mushroom and garlic pie. 🥰 Food of the Gods! Another great vlog Hannah. Have a great weekend x

From the US and we had a great time loading up our picnic basket at M&S with goodies before heading for a narrowboat week. It is a little pricy but better than going out to restaurants for each meal. Lots of plastic but I loved the convenience of the plastic take away fruit….grapes, strawberries, pears were amazing. Thank you for the shop! Brings back the fun memories. P.S. EREWHON in LA was ludicrous! $18 for one smoothie but, it’s California where everything is crazy expensive.

I truly enjoy your descriptive visuals on the go ! Fantastic ! You're never a loss of words . As fluid as a radio announcer . Indeed, you get a double thumbs up ! Yeah, the chronicles of Hannah .

Cheaper than fresh food in Australia. Love the shopping trips- food, clothing, home wares, as well as the touristy stuff. This one made me hungry.

I love M&s food mmm you get what you pay for , and even better if you get the yellow tickets , there bread is delicious,

OMG, as I'm prepping tea, peeling potatoes and chopping veg. and as our supermarket here in our rural town in Victoria Australia gets all the end of the run veggies that droop when you pick them up. This vlog made me so envious that I thought how scrumptious and unique and convenient (albeit the excess plastic) that I don't know wether I fancy our tea tonight. So enjoyed this vlog as I do all.

Thank you, Hannah^^ Supermarket bliss~~ Yes, please do a monthly food shop vlog.😊

So close to 200k!!!! Everyone make sure you're subscribed, what a great channel ❤

Happy Friday, Hannah! Never visited Erewhon so I really don’t know if M&S is comparable. I can say that the bakery items you showed are better than all but a few of the better bakeries here. Really appreciated today’s “waffling”. I did the grocery shopping for the week this morning and so much of what you said either ran through my mind or is exactly what I said too. Have a wonderful July weekend! See you Tuesday!

Thank you, Hannah Ricketts. It's always fun to go along w/you on your adventures and shopping excursions.⭐🏆🥇

I go to a Marks Food shop two times a week Hannah. As they cater for people who dont want to cook every day with such a marvellous selection of top quality food it certainly is a lovely temptation.Another great food video Hannah.

Hannah. First off: you’re gorgeous. Secondly: I live for these videos, I live my London life through you lol. I’m Irish ☘️ and completely understand the self-deprecation of it all, can’t take a compliment to save ourselves, but seriously your videos are top notch and you are a fantastic vlogger, it’s like pov gogglebox, no pretense. Keep up the great work. ❤ ❤ ❤

Thank you for the great video.

That was a good shop. Your supermarkets are so much better than Australian ones. You have so much more variety and healthy ready meals for single folks. Now I am hungry. That bakery section was awesome 👍🏻🤗enjoy your weekend

I have never been to the store in Cali. I’m from NY, upstate NY, and M&S is always one of my first stops when I come to the UK. I have never felt it was expensive at all and love all the prepared foods!

I ❤ M&S. Excellent quality food and great food deals. Especially their meal deals. I shop in my local M&S food store every week.

Trust me electric bills have gone up! We are also in a drought. We live off a well. A UK friend asked me what would happen if our well runs dry. Answer, we have to drill another that would probably cost now $15,000-$20,000. Also, a house burnt down (4 houses from me) in the neighborhood. The fire tankers (water) had to fill up at nearby ponds. The house was burnt to a crisp. All that is left is the concrete slab it was built on.

I spent 6 weeks in the the UK last year and M&S was my go to for food!! The variety is insane! We do not have anything like it in Australia. The supermarkets are starting to get more 'on the go' food but nothing like over there. I loved just grabbing a wrap & fruit for lunch, sitting in a park eating them and continuing on with my exploring. I didn't find the prices unreasonable for the quality of the food. I loved the chicken ceaser wraps but I was sick of them after 6 weeks 😂by eating light and doing all the walking around England and Scotland, I lost 6kg! Surprised by the origin of some of the fruit you picked up too! Great video, I miss London 😍 PS: please be careful with your phone on the street! Mine was stolen on Oxford street 😭

Grew up in London part of my childhood, my mother introduced me to M&S, it’s the best food store in the world 🌎 for me, I now live in the USA 🇺🇸 tried many food stores but M&S is still missing 👍🏽👍🏽

Erewhon is very expensive, it makes Whole Foods look like a dollar/discount store! Please don't waste your time going into one while you are vacationing here in the States.... Love your waffling... now, back to the shopping!

Food is so much more expensive in the U.S.!! If this is your fanciest store, these prices are amazing. And the produce looks so fresh. Love your videos. I love England ❤

I love all the fruit punnets ❤

I LOVE Marks&Sparks for food shopping. I used it daily in South Africa under the Woolies brand name) and really one would never have needef to cook for any meal or dinner party. The best quality, prepared beautifully, almost worth the insanely high bill😅. Thanks Hannah for another fun video☘️

M&S Food is the best and actually I find it better value compared to branded foods which tend to be more expensive. You can get special offers and discounts also if you have a Sparks card. Also I keep any eye out of the reduced price yellow label items that appear lol. I prefer M&S over Waitrose these days.

Another excellent video Hannah. No one comes close to M&S Food, Waitrose don't touch the sides. Hannah made me laugh when you were looking at the Pancakes and you said they were easy to make. Lol, would love to see you make one. Look forward to your next video 👍👍😁😎

If I lived there, I would NEVER cook. So much less expensive to by ready made there. I’d be in heaven! 🤗❤️ Canada sucks for how expensive it is . 😢 I really enjoyed this vlog. You are just so sweet and nice to watch. Thank you for all your videos. We know how much work you have to do to make them happen . ❤

Wow!!! Its so much cheaper than sweden! The floders are beautiful and so cheap, i wish we could buy roses like that at that prize here!

I am going to put my sunnies on, too cute, love the way you Brits talk, i loved this Hannah i can only dream of going to London one day. Happy to see you have lovely weather finally. Hannah you always look so beautiful you need not worry, but eating heathier is a good way to go, but we do like our treats. Cheering for England today in soccer.

I live in Washington state, USA. Groceries are at least twice and much here at the regular chain supermarkets. 😢

What a lovely surprise. Always enjoy a M&S vlog to see the new lines, prices and atmosphere. It’s so different to shopping in Australia! My family and I would be interested in your monthly grocery vlog. ☺️👏✨☕️🛍️

As I am trying to move to the UK some day, I love these food shops. It helps with my research. I visit London every year and I normally shop at Waitrose in Bloomsbury near Russell Square, and I absolutely love it. I think their prices are still much cheaper than a normal US grocery store.

Compared to Canada these prices are excellent and the produce looks amazing !

Hannah I do love M&S clotted cream scones, made with clotted cream. You only need to add the jam. Lovely Jubbly 👍😁😎

Another lovely Hannah video. Always enjoyable 🎉🎉. Thank you for sharing. 💖👍

Those groceries would have cost about $100+ here in Australia. Thanks for bringing us along with you Hannah ❤

Good Afternoon, Hannah, I enjoyed watching your RU-vid video! It is definitely a helpful video to tourists who are not aware of the range of groceries offered at M and S, Many years ago when I visited the UK I would shop at the Food Hall at M and S instead of having a sit-in meal at a restaurant or a pub, Thank-you for the video and I look forward to watching next weeks RU-vid videos, Alister Ian Hoult, Carrying Place, Ontario, Canada.

We don't have to compare anything to the USA. We are British and have some seriously great supermarkets .....and we pay for quality if we want it.

Love shopping in M&S for the best fruit even though a bit expensive. Their offers are very tempting and usually end up buying more than intended. Here in Ireland we pay in Euros and it tends to be more expensive than the UK. Love your videos as I used to live in London and brings back happy memories. 😊

Watching the latest Hannah Ricketts video is our Saturday morning routine. 😊

Hi Hannah. Glad I wasn’t in London for today’s summer day ( 5th July ☔️😱 ) M & S food store is always good quality, well worth a visit. ❤

Monthly food logs would be most welcome,all the shopping films you had on your channel recently got me hooked ie charity shops etc,like a good shop!Enjoy the rest of your summer in the ukCheers!

Thanks for sharing Hannah! Yes a monthly food vlog would be great. Not living in the UK I do miss the choice of supermarkets and the convenience of M&S food as we have nothing like it here in Oz. Wishing you a wonderful weekend! 😎

I cannot believe how cheap your food is and everything wrapped up and ready to go! Oh, how I would love that! I bought one roast last week (not a great one, either), and it was $24! Bread is $4.99. Eggs up to $7 - butter, you don't want to know1 $6.90! I want to move back to the UK! I am food-jealous!!

May God bless u always 🙏

Me and my wife watching quietly, then she shouts……’yes but you can freeze them Hannah’ 😂😂😂❤❤❤ ( the 3 for £12 items, just incase you were wondering 😂😂

You are an absolute natural on camera! Love your content. Brands should be lining up.

I miss Marks & Spencer... it was a real treat when we lived in Ireland to go to Galway (closest to us) and do some shopping at Marks & Sparks. Since moving back to California I have fallen in love with Sprouts - but they don't have the variety of ready made foods that M&S do. Great video Hannah!
