(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.
I used supply my local butcher with venison at £1 per pound, he would sell it for £8 per pound, so I now keep it for myself. Everyone local and independant I know drives a bigger car and owns a better house than me, so I owe them nothing, I owe it to my family and myself to provide what I can at the best price, that's a shame I know, but I can't afford to do anything else.
In wartime Stalingrad they ate horses and dogs and even at the end turned to eating the dead. Survival is a dirty business.
