I try to. But fucking hell, Maxima and Lidl sometimes have so much better prices. Though to be fair, it’s usually because of the fact that they sell more foreign foodstuffs while the local companies sell more local stuff. So buying cheap stuff from Maxima or Lidl is a double whammy to the local economy. Which is why I haven’t been to Lidl in like half a year. Maxima at least has local products too
And to be clear, even the local alternatives are supermarkets generally. Very few small independent stores are left and the ones that do still exist are usually significantly more expensive and don’t carry a lot of stuff.
