We're lucky here I guess in a small market town and I find its much cheaper than the big supermarkets - by a country mile!<br /><br />Our old market offers great quality and service (box carried to your car, free delivery for a sack of £5 spuds) and I do all the other shopping in Aldi. On average we spend about £70 a week for a family of four, not bad I think and I've saved up to push the boat out a little for Christmas (don't usually patronise the deli for example)<br /><br />Enjoy your Christmas.<br />StephxCurlew Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05743251099471763243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-70738229353228524322011-12-18T23:40:50.825+00:002011-12-18T23:40:50.825+00:00Lucky you to have some of the white stuff!
