We had a quick lunch at the Charlie's shopping complex. It offered a great view
Then we added Morrisons to our list of grocery shopping experiences. I was so very pleased to see I could buy loose (not pre-packaged) produce - oranges and mushrooms were available this way, and small brown bags are provided for this! Yay, Morrisons. They also have a deli section, and sell lamb samosas - yum!
I've compared prices across 4 grocery stores, and the basics I buy are the same or very, very similar in price across them all. Some stores are better for variety (Tesco, especially alcohol), some better for bulk buys (Morrisons, Sainsburys), loose produce (Morrisons) and some for their meat selection (Aldi).
Aldi Price Matches are advertised at all grocery stores, clearly indicating they're the baseline. But Aldi stocks aren't always consistent, and the checkout process can be rather hectic.
This summer our local Tesco has had its fridges break down on 3 occasions, so Aldi across the street has benefitted from their losses.
Interestingly, we've encountered more people we 'know' or recognise in grocery stores and about town in Wales, than we ever did in Maine!
