Boiled, fried, raw, cooked in butter and stir fried love them cooked any way and all the different types also

given the choice (money no problem), would you prefer to shop in a supermarket or small independent stores? i just love shopping in the village shops and am lucky to have the traditional butcher, baker, chemist and fishmonger within walking distance of my home. it's so much more presonal, and you can have a bit of a chat and catch up on the local gossip. i like the idea of supporting local business and believe that i get better quality in fresh food from the local stores, than mass produced supermarket produce. however, i would struggle without my monthly supermarket shops. supermarkets offer a choice not available at a local level and can offer discounts that smaller businesses can't compete with.

Use my local veg shop as much as I can

Since the birth of my first child I have made more of an effort to buy organic, thinking that it's the best thing for my family. I get my veg delivered from a local organic farm and do my best to cook from scratch wherever possible. However, it's hugely more expensive, particularly buying organic meat, and there is no way I can afford to feed the family an all organic diet, however much I would like to. So my kitchen cupboards are an odd assortment of 'tesco-value' and fresh organic food. I would love to be able to afford to buy organic all the time and hate the idea of my food being processed and covered in chemicals, but the cost of organic food is prohibitive and I am forced to make compromises to afford the food we need.

Supermarket basics organic too expensive
