Can you say that local produce is sold or offered for sale in these outlets?

If you want to save on grocery shopping you need to organise your freezer and storecupboard, plan for needs for 2 weeks ahead, buy in bulk where you can, and use voucher numbers (available at other online sites) which will give you a discount of more than the delivery charge.

When more people realise they can do this, it wont matter where the new supermarkets are built

I love reading your posts Margaret, the way your organised reminds me of my mum, she was a very good house keeper and was very thrifty to boot, I think a lot of what my mum did rubbed of on me, because I tend to do the things she did as far as houshold planning. One thing my mother did teach me was not to use HP, I never have or will, If I want anything I save for it and don't go into debt

Have expressed my opinion many times on here .. just once again am disappointed that Sainsburys and their location plans have not been considered seriously as an alternative by our Councillors. 'Heil Tesco' and their bribes ..end of :mad:

Don't think many more people will shop online ... unless you are at home most days to accept delivery.

simple fact is money talks and convienience matters.

as fresh/nice/nostalgic things are from the market - they're cheaper in asda. you dont have to walk stall to stall getting the stuff - you bang it in one trolley and there you go. you only have to get once on the way into asda and once on your way out. none of this walking quickly from here to there getting cold.

the town wont die. people will still enjoy getting stuff from shops etc. that whole notion of the home made family store has long died off.
