      Hi crowntown100,

      Usually at the supermarket I’m afraid – although there aren’t too many alternatives where I live in Northern Virginia in America. We do have a local Farmers Market once a week – but it is very expensive.

      A combination of both. Where I live the supermarkets have outcompeted most of the local options.

      Hey crowntown100,

      A bit of both actually.

      Sometimes I can’t make it to the markets when they’re open at the weekend so I have to do shopping at the supermarkets. Also, markets are good for fresh stuff but not some of the snacks I really like…
      I wish I could do all my shopping locally; I’d much rather support local producers than giant companies like Tesco, Sainsbury’s etc., but sadly I don’t have the time and opportunity.
