sallykate Jan 2021 11:29am, 29 Jan 2021 7,507 posts	0 sallykate I rarely go to a big supermarket. Five minutes in the local Co-op is all I've done for months now (plus the usual monthly Tesco deliveries, which is a 20+ year habit).

icemaiden Jan 2021 11:45am, 29 Jan 2021 5,093 posts	0 icemaiden I go to the supermarkets once a week. First to Tesco for my Dad's stuff, then on the way back from dropping off his stuff a Lidl's run. I go early, 7.15 for Tesco and then in Lidl just after 8.00am.

Fizz :-) Jan 2021 11:52am, 29 Jan 2021 5,207 posts	0 Fizz :-) I go to Lidl once a fortnight. WW goes to Waitrose on the alternate week. Apart from running we barely leave the house otherwise. (Slight exception for decorating supplies this month)
