The ? shops on Rye Lane are great for tins of pulses and other basics, like olive oil, tea bags, instant coffee etc.

In the CoOp, search for the non-CoOp versions of chick peas etc because they are about 30p/tin cheaper.

Sainsbury's and Tesco have good-value cut flowers (as does CoOp, if you can get beyond the day-glo daisies).

Most supermarkets offer 'price checks' of various sorts, which are mostly smoke and mirrors, since they miss so much stuff under the guise of "no equivalent product". I had an online delivery yesterday where the price check seemed suggest that no other supermarket sells a kilo bag of carrots.


Even so, Sainsbury's used to do their price match against a range of supermarkets. They recently changed this to check against ASDA only. That probably tells you all you need to know about their competitiveness.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
