We do have a market not too far away, but it's more clothes and tat than food - that's one thing I really miss about living in London - we used to have Walthamstow market under a mile away! Our local butchers are mostly poor, and I can't even think of a fruit and veg shop in the town at all!<br /><br />Cous cous though.....is it the law that every AF order has to include a lifetime supply of the stuff?!Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175531371914205163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7166949416950161358.post-4077197371290333692012-03-24T20:07:37.291+00:002012-03-24T20:07:37.291+00:00Ooh, look at all that lovely food!
We've jus...Ooh, look at all that lovely food! <br /><br />We've just done our first Approved Foods order - very exciting! I'm with you on not ordering anything I could make better myself. We ended up with several packets of rye bread for the freezer, sesame oil, a small mountain of cous cous, mung beans, loads of stuff! <br /><br />We do similar things to you - shopping around, buying what's on offer, getting stuff from all over the place. We're lucky enough to have 2 small supermarkets, and a couple of fruit and veg shops, and a discount shop within walking distance, so we often pop along every day (not convinced that's very frugal, but saves a giant soul-destroying supermarket trip, I can't stand them!) :)Jennihttp://acheerfullivingadventure.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
