I tried that once - the salt water got in their van and spoiled everything . . .

Yeah, but given a choice between Tesco and Tom Thumb, I'd go for the latter every time...  Or HEB.  Or Albertsons.

Oh, and perhaps the news has passed you by, but Tesco now operate in the colonies, but under the name 'Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market'.  But only in California, Nevada and Arizona as yet, I think.

Shysters! Though for the convenience of delivery I can live without BOGOF on Toilet Duck - I'll consider it another stealth tax. I thought you were going to tell me they take the top off your milk and spit in it.

When I lived in NY, before we knew better we did our grocery shopping at ShopRite. My God. Words cannot describe. S&P was better though, and Duane Reade always handy for the essentials.

What was the point of this topic again? Where to get cheaper sausages?

Perhaps I was going to go overboard then when I was planning a bar-code reading stock control system?

[Michael]

I thought by now we were all supposed to have special bins that scanned the barcodes on what you threw away and sent your robot butler out to get more?

Blimey!  As I do not get emails advising me of postings (and I know that has been covered previously so this is not a complaint) I had forgotten to check on progress.

Not sure what the opposite of Luddite is but I guess that is what I am as I propbably try to use technology for the sake of it, partly so I may learn about it, and my apartment block's requirements were a catalyst in this instance.  Maybe I will fall back though (metaphorically) on the cork board.

Thanks for all the comments.
