I went to a supermarket on the weekend with Div - the first time I've set foot in a supermarket for MONTHS - since they have started the farmers market in the CBD weekly I get all my F&V from there, I do buy meat from there or from my local butcher. I will have to set foot into the supermarket this week as I've run out of baking basics (flour etc), almost out of toilet paper and I need more bicarb & vinegar.
For me this wasn't me attempting to be ethical - this was purely for cost cutting - at the farmers market I can buy enough fruit & veg for me for a fortnight for about $40 (that includes a totally indulgent LARGE punnet of strawberries for $10 plus some home-made greek yoghurt).
They say that you can buy your basic food essentials just by walking around the outside of the supermarket (as in isle 1, along the back & then the last isle) - of course that doesn't include things like oats, flour etc.
