I finished up with one final errand. There was a new grocery store that opened up across the Street last week. It's called Fresh and Easy

From 1-31-2010

It's about quarter the size of the Albertson's across the Street, or about twice the size of a convenience Store.If your'e Familar with Jackson, Mo in the 60/70's, it's about the size of Lictinegger's Market. Despite that they are a full -line grocer. Their trick is that almost everything is only available as the Store Brand. The only exceptions are Drinks, Chips, and Candy. I've never been much for name brands, anyway. The produce is broken down in to individual servings. That way I don't have to worry about spoiloage, and The food was good , as well being cheaper. Part of that is F&E is non-union, and they do have a lot of purchasing power, as they a part of Tesco, The Uk's largest Retailer.
Hmm I shop at an English Market, and go to and English church. What could be next?
