work in retail auditing, not going to explain much more than that, so see a lot of supermarkets and the prices do vary with the area for the same item

been to aldi - cheaper stuff, different names much like you have when u go to another country

got some of their more expensive wines to try, the cheaper are ok to a point, but often cook with them

2 vegetable farm shops, went to one not used for a while, recall why now - kale infested with white flies, dumped in bin and windows open to get rid of them

local butcher's shop for eggs, flour and meat, not the cheapest, but rump steak an inch thick that has been hung for 5 weeks is sooo nice smile
sirloin is probably nicer but at 3 ? times the price maybe not
