Default Re: General Grocery Costs

We have one butchers and a farmer's market on Sundays. The butcher is slightly cheaper than the supermarket, but not much. Must say that I don't go to the farmer's market much as few items are particularly cheap - the best deals are on citrus fruit and I have enough of that in my garden. A lot of people treat the farmer's market as a social outing.

Here's a few more items from our local New World supermarket:-

Head of broccoli ????????.........1.99
Frozen Sweetcorn 500g?????....?1.99
Beef sirloin (four pk) ??????.......8.60
Heinz Ezi-Squeeze Ketchup 500ml ..3.39
Bisto gravy powder 200g ?????...1.99
Chicken Tonight 520g jar ?????...2.79
Creamed rice 420g (tin) ??????..1.39
Coffee 100g jar ? ????????......5.69 (on offer from 7.50)
Vienna poppy-seeded loaf ????.?2.15
Sultana scone ??????????.........85c
Cream crackers 250g ???????...2.09
Golden Crunch cookies 350g ????1.99 (on offer from 2.99)
Gingernuts 250g ?????????......1.39 (on offer from 1.80)
