Re: The price of food....and everything really

Hi Coasty, I have just returned from visiting my sister in Spain (it rained nearly every day!!) where a litre of petrol is 1.12 euros!!!!!!! It just shows that our govt. taxes the life out of us.

I agree with your predictions on food costs. I shopped today in my local co-op.. what a dismal comparison it makes to continental shopping.. their fruit and veg are so much better quality than ours.. and so much cheaper. And the variety! So much more in the way of meat.. much better quality and the price was astonishingly low. I know we have transport to factor in but really... if they can do it.. why cant we!
