I buy cheese, sour cream, and milk there (mine sells excellent milk from a local dairy very cheaply), and some packaged foods like cereal, crackers, juice, and some canned goods. I do have to read the labels because sometimes they use additives. They do have some products that do not. And the chocolate is amazing! I go to other stores for produce and also belong to a food cooperative and a CSA farm in the summer. <br /><br />Love your blog...I am a mum (mom as we say in the US) and an Anglophile...it is nice to read about life in England, and I hope to return again someday!Heidinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-89561832030098264182012-03-22T17:50:29.507+00:002012-03-22T17:50:29.507+00:00Sadly, a lot of us don't really have much of a...Sadly, a lot of us don't really have much of a choice.Bogger Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10140974298282799198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-45363021468794246152012-03-22T05:54:30.200+00:002012-03-22T05:54:30.200+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.luckmeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04394474194003703907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-38564928709656201762012-03-12T09:57:54.701+00:002012-03-12T09:57:54.701+00:00If Aldi is right across the street why not do some...If Aldi is right across the street why not do some of the shopping at Sainsbury's and but the things that are OK at Aldi. I stopped shopping at Sainsbury's and started shopping at Morrison's because the prices were soo low. Food, utility and petrol costs are all going up so we all do what we have to to make our ££ go a bit further. Not all of us can be Waitrose shoppers for life and although I do pop in there on occasion I wouldn't dream of doing all my weekly shop there.

Never again. Never again, I tell you. <br /><br />And I've noticed an Aldi near our Sainbury's too, but despite my mother's ramblings of 'their veg is well priced', I'm sticking to what I know, with Waitrose as a treat every now and then. <br /><br />I'm just trying to buy less each week! <br />xsadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891036834520023762noreply@blogger.com
