The naughty tesco post got me exploring.

I would love to shop only with local suppliers & independent shops but

(1) Tesco is literally a 3 minute drive away.

And

(2) If tesco want £1 for something & the independent shop wants £1.50, over the course of a month (roughly £250 to £300 on food shopping), its quite a saving I make.

To me it's like when people tell me I should only eat organic food. I would love to but sadly the cost stops me. I do grow some of my own food using my own compost & grow as organically as possible. If people haven't done so already, home grown spuds make the best chips I have ever tasted.
