Weekly shop

I don't buy clothes and non food items on a weekly basis, apart from things like loo rolls obviously. I go to the shops myself, usually weekly, as I cook most of our food from scratch I go to 3-4 shops everytime, so as I get the best produce at the best price. I wouldn't like someone else picking my food for me, the way they're allowed by their computers to echange items would be totally unsuitable for me. I might ask for quorn sausages, if they didn't have any, instead of giving me a different type of veggie sausage they'd give me meat ones, because the computer sees sausages not veggie ones, so I'd end up with a load of meat stuff that I couldn't eat and if I put no substitutes then I'd end with half my shopping missing.

I'm not a huge fan of online shopping, I thought we'd be able to buy anything from anywhere in the world instead we seem to be able to buy the same dozen items and woe betide you if they're not what you want. Also woe betide you if you're not a standard size, have special needs like allergies, or just don't like whatever's currently in fashion. I feel like the internet has given us less choice, not more and it's put a lot of the smaller, interesting shops out of business, even places like etsy that used to be a haven for independent jewelry makers and other crafters seems to have been taken over by the big guys. The big guys pay for their stuff to come top of any search, leaving what you actually want on page 203 or even 2m and 3 and honestly who has the patience to seach through all those web pages?

Up to Press I've had no problems and got what I wanted touch wood lol. Admittedly I've received items from Ebay and Temu that were smaller than they looked in the description but I'm ok with that.
