I think Ocado delivery is free if you spend £75 (which is not difficult in Waitrose! 
) or 2.99 upwards (depending on delivery slot) if you dont.

What's the point of Waitrose?

I pay £3.99 a month for deliveries no matter how many times I order. It's great!
Waitrose and Ocado are not the same thing. Ocado buys fron Waitrose, but also sells branded products sourced elsewhere. Waitrose deliver from your closest store for free. Or you can shop online and collect.
They have really good fresh ingredients, not just decadent ready meals. Their Cooks ingredints range is great, and Waitrose Essentials are good quality competitively price products. I can't wait for the one near me to be built.

SW is baffling sometimes lol
I'm on the fan committee for Waitrose too! Absolutely love it, though end up spending a fortune whenever I go, and usually on things that are not so good for me!! But it's the most pleasant of the supermarkets to spend time in as well as having delicious foods ... sadly since migrating from South to North I very rarely get to go.
That said, a lot of the 'exotic' things mentioned by people are available in ethnic shops at a fraction of the price, just not necessarily in such pretty packaging - but I also enjoy rummaging for things in those shops too. On reflection perhaps I am just easily pleased if I'm shopping somewhere for interesting foodstuffs! : )

The Essentials range in Waitrose is usually very good value. I get their biscuits for the teas I do for a club I belong to, and they are much nicer than the equivalent branded versions.
Also, I get their shower gel, hand wash and washing up liquid - not expensive, and they last forever. The cucumber and lime washing up liquid is fantastic. My friend gets at me for buying "posh" hand wash in Waitrose, but in fact it is cheaper than the one she buys in Tesco, and lasts twice as long!
Edit: that should be cucumber and basil, not lime!

There are lots of flowers which are edible. And, of course, quite a few which aren't (no foxgloves, please!!)
I used to grow nasturtiums when I had a garden - cream cheese and nasturtium petal sandwiches are lovely.
And of course you can eat rose petals.
i seem to remember from one of my earliest excursions with SW that edible flowers was listed as a free food - to the great amusement of the group - but we all felt there was something slightly obscene and cannibalistic about it! Suppose nasturtiums in salad come to mind, but I think you can make ice cream with lavender, and use marigold petals in something - oh and there's deep fried courgette flowers of course! Just the job for a SW groupie.....
