Costco. I've become an Aberdeen Angus beef addict.

Somerfield isn't a great supermarket (small with limited selection), but they sell amazing free-range, corn-fed chickens.

Really? I'm not a Somerfield fan but am do go there on occasion as they are our closest town centre/high street supermarket. Will have to look at the chicken...

Hmmm. I liked baked goods!

They just annoy me because they really overcharge for some things which is hugely unfair to the locals who have no choice but to shop there.

Too true. I shop at ours from time to time, though, because the fantabulous greengrocer is right next door!

Butchers in Canada are pretty happy people, on the whole.


One of the only things I mourn over from Canada is the butcher we had 20 years ago.  He was just sooo fabulous!  I loved going to his shop every month to stock my freezer.  We visited that town a few years ago and it took everything i had not to go buy something.

Just make sure you don't get a little extra in what he brings home & check his fingers!  A butcher I know has missing digits... :o ;)

Ha Ha I check him usually everynight for new cuts, so far so good.  The last really bad cut was right before Christmas and he wasn't actually cutting any meat at the time.

We drive over to the Black Isle to a tiny little butcher shop.  The butcher is from the western isles and is a riot.  I want to move over there just so he can be my local butcher.
