On a side note, the cost of supermarket food and general quality in the US compared to the UK is mind blowing. Ive just done a standard shop in Whole Foods, which to be fair is just about on par with Waitrose, and it cost $200…….nothing extravagant…..just standard fresh food/veg/fish/drink. In the UK that would have cost about $100 max. Crazy.
I just cant work it out. The amount of resources, infrastructure, competition in the market and you get bog standard food at high prices, or something resembling decent grub for $$$$$$$. Food, cell phone plans and used cars……US consumers get totally ripped off !!
Supermarket food is all very 1950s over here in the standard retailers here in the North East……you get the value buying in bulk and cooking from scratch - spending 4 hours doing a Warren Moussaka. Only unemployed dull house DJs have that amount of time on their hands these days……
