Cost of living crisis - how are you all doing?

[paulchapo]

Thank god for Ketchup.

A good bottle of hot sauce works wonders to liven up shit bland food if you don't mind things a bit spicy.

More than happy to transfer you £50 ? 100? And you pay back Thursday. If that helps.

Thanks for the offer mate. I am working from home and we have plenty in for 3 days, so don't need anything. Thanks again.

Do most people just not use their nearest supermarket? I pass Asda on the way home so I go there. Wherever I’ve lived, there’s only usually been one big one with others a bit of a drive away etc.

Depends how far away you are away from them doesn't it. If you are in a middle of built up area it's a pain in the arse to get stuff about on the bus or walking if you don't have a car.

I've lived in places where there's two or three big supermarkets in close proximity.

We use Ocado or Morrisons and then I go butchers on the Saturday for the rest.

Meat? You can afford meat?

I just get the bones and live off broth.

Our local Co op is 2 minutes away, rip off merchants. Aldi and Lidl is 30 minutes away....we only use the Co op for last minute stuff. I hate to do it and it pains me not to buy local but there is a limit. The same goes with on line stuff. Living out in the sticks everything is miles away so the on line guys get the business. The one redeeming feature is that we keep the local delivery guys busy.....

I’d much prefer to give my money to small local businesses rather than large corporations. Slightly more expensive but much better quality and it keeps the money in the local economy rather than the pockets of shareholders.
