I prefer a trip to a large out-of-town supermarket to shopping in the local
convenience shop because there's so much more variety. You can choose between all the usual well-known brands or if you prefer, there are the store's cheaper own-brands products. As well as tinned and frozen till there's a wide range of fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, fish and other foodstuffs. The household goods are particularly good value money, compared to other shops.
Once I've walked down all the aisles filling my trolley enough food to last a month, I head for the cheese corner, where I treat myself to a selection of Roquefort, feta, and manchego. When I go through the counter I try hard not to look when the amount I've spent is displayed on the checkout, and try not to listen as the cashier reads it out.
I hand over my credit card, take the receipt and hurriedly put it away in a DIY purse, preferring not to look at it until I get here.
