If you want to save on grocery shopping you need to organise your freezer and storecupboard, plan for needs for 2 weeks ahead, buy in bulk where you can, and use voucher numbers (available at other online sites) which will give you a discount of more than the delivery charge.

When more people realise they can do this, it wont matter where the new supermarkets are built

I love reading your posts Margaret, the way your organised reminds me of my mum, she was a very good house keeper and was very thrifty to boot, I think a lot of what my mum did rubbed of on me, because I tend to do the things she did as far as houshold planning. One thing my mother did teach me was not to use HP, I never have or will, If I want anything I save for it and don't go into debt

LOL - I thought for a second you meant HP sauce - almost went to look at my bottle in case I had missed noticing a hazardous ingredient

If more and more people shop on line, we won't have anymore Supermarkets being built.

Still like to shop instore and see what I am getting before I pay for it.

Go to tescos in Blackburn at the mo, and occasionally Haslingden. So would certainly be using the new store.

Have expressed my opinion many times on here .. just once again am disappointed that Sainsburys and their location plans have not been considered seriously as an alternative by our Councillors. 'Heil Tesco' and their bribes ..end of

Don't think many more people will shop online ... unless you are at home most days to accept delivery.

i think people are in a way wrong to just start accusing asda/morrisons/tesco of killing the local markets etc

simple fact is money talks and convienience matters.

as fresh/nice/nostalgic things are from the market - they're cheaper in asda. you dont have to walk stall to stall getting the stuff - you bang it in one trolley and there you go. you only have to get once on the way into asda and once on your way out. none of this walking quickly from here to there getting cold.

the town wont die. people will still enjoy getting stuff from shops etc. that whole notion of the home made family store has long died off.

Quite agree mani, the corner shop died of a long time ago. On the passing of te corner shop, one of Hyndburns biggest employers went with it. I worked for Lancashir Shopfitters in the sixies and seventies and nearly 100% of the buiness was aimed at the corner shop, when the muli-nationals started to get a grip, the days were numbered for that firm.

the local shops wont die off as they will have their regulars..did they have all this when marks and spencers/asda moved in?...
how many folk do their shopping in burnley/blackburn already?
and there will be many a householder looking forward to tesco being built as they may benefit from getting a job from it...you always look after yourself..

very well summed up mani, its all about ease n cost, thats the bottom line fer US as well as the big supermarkets, some just can't/won't see that.

I wonder if they'll be building this new Tesco with Accrington Brick?

From today's Telegraph: Famous Accrington brick manufacturer to close (From This Is Lancashire)

That is a blow to the area.

This is a quote from that news article

Quote:

"There needs to be more pressure from Hyndburn Council to ensure that local firms are supported.”

I just don't see how HBC can influence a multinational company to stay in Hyndburn.
