kscour - tell me more about turning your back on Tesco. I wish I could, but no fruit and veg shops beside me
Something I did a while back, funnily enough I was talking to DD's about it last week and we're starting again this weekend. I've been working very long hours over the past eighteen months and have started using mr T's more and more because i've had so little time (although I do still use the local shop/butcher for an awful lot). This weekend we're heading into a small market town near us - it won't have everything we need but it'll cover the basics & some extras, it'll be fun and will only take as long as a trip to Mr T's to walk up and down the street popping in all the shops & having a good browse.
This was the thread
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=369405
and I'm super excited to find it still active:j:j
Thanks skintscotslass without you I might not have gone looking for the thread! Why don't you give it a try even if you just cut down some of your supermarket shop and buy local it will make a huge difference.
