Harry & I popped into Garstang this afternoon for a few groceries.
I do have to say Booths is a very pleasant place to shop….wide aisles & we always see someone to talk to!
I did walk through traitors gate though to Aldi where I have favourites to buy.
While in Booths Harry bought a box of After Eights so when I saw exactly the same in Aldi I bought some too to compare prices!
we were very shocked to find Harry had paid £4.00 in Booths & I paid £2.49 in Aldi!
Isn't it criminal to find the same item with such a difference in price . I do not feel ashamed to be shopping at Aldi for certain items , and to look out for bargains ! !
Not heard of Booths, possibly a northern shop? Quite a difference in prices! Love the poppies, we have those on some of the lamp posts through the village - the grand total of about 6 - obviously no expense spared - similar sized villages I’ve visited have double that amount!
@carole_sandford The poppies are all along every street in Garstang this year! Booths is the Northern Waitrose but a family run firm that buys all local produce. Kirsty Allsopp has just become a big fan.
@carole_sandford Carole , our local councillor , now our MP , pays for our "big poppies" out of his own pocket , he has done for years 😀

@phil_howcroft Same routine as us then Phil. We do try & shop in Booths a bit more than we would like somtimes as we would hate it to close down. Has free parking in the town too.
