Not offended
Just realistic, supermarkets are cheaper because they have greater buying power. Overall if you stick to your list and ignore all the shit they tempt you with it will be cheaper. That's why they make millions and local shops suffer.

It sounds like you're trying to use reason to arrive at facts, here.
The problem with reason is that a lot of it is assumptions. What you say makes sense, but the conclusion isn't necessarily true.

You're right about the special offers and deals and whatnot, I'll be honest I'm a sucker for them. But we shop at a farmers' market every week and won't baulk at paying a tenner for a chicken. My Dad might spit his tea out when I tell him how much I spend on the roast, but his weekly shopping bill comes to £60-£90 whereas ours is usually around the £30 mark.

Can i just jump in here and say
POUNDSHOPS or if you are realy in to saving the pennys the 99p shop.
We now get all or shampoo, conditioner, dishwasher tabs etc from one.
Before some says it isnt the same stuff, yes it is a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of conditioner from asda cost £5.98 exactly the same bottles with exactly the same packaging and contents cost £2 thats a saving right there that is, yes you may not get fruit and veg but you can get all your cleaning stuff there, also pepsi cola 2lt £1 asda 1.79 and this from londis that well known pervayour of dried pasty things in the tepid cabinate
so the moral is use different shops for different things dont be fooled in to doing it all in one shop
