I have to agree with Flashytart on this one. Supermarkets not only create jobs but they cost the jobs of those working in smaller shops. I do like to get fresh stuff off the market and when I'm not working I will often go market shopping. On days out we will normally find an independent butchers or farmer's market and come home with enough different flavoured sausage to fill the freezer and tons of cheeses. I don't believe that supermarkets are much cheaper than smaller shops, if the cost of tonights shopping at Tesco is anything to go by......

I'm having to have a glass of wine to get over it..
