Our little supermarket has 3 short aisles, but you can get most things there, and the prices are reasonable. I purchased 12 litres of milk, enough bananas and apples for a week, and a couple of loaves of bread. You can be guaranteed to run into 3 or 4 people who you know, or (in my case anyway) know who I am.
What I do love about small town living is that when I need to drag my 12 litres of milk and umpteen kilograms of fruit out to the car, they ding a little bell, and a teen-aged boy appears, picks up my bags, and carries them out the door to the car (parked directly out the front), and pops them in the boot for me! With a chirpy greeting too!
It's like living in the 1950's - and I love it!
Oh I would actually go near a shop if I could get lovely service like this....instead hubby does the shopping. I do so envy you :)

We get the car delivery with the shopping too. V helpful. Plus if the queue is more than two deep they automatically open another till.... Almost makes up for the didgy fruit and veg. Almost.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of living somewhere like that. Must be a womderful community atmosphere
ReplyDeleteI grew up in the country and am thrilled that in my current- very urban - neck of the city, I have found the country equivalent. The local greengrocer who gives car service, the local businesses where I am now a regular, and local friends. I feel like I live in a close community and I love it.
