It's fascinating to read your choices and how you're getting on.

I think I might get used to Osher Ad though, or stick to Shufersal opposite if they are forced to reduce their prices to compete.

I started buying major supplies at Shuppersol under Ace; meat at Adika, which is across the street; bread, dairy and vegetables at the makolet in Beit Safafa. Its very inefficient but I dont like any of the other options enough to want to spend my money there in the way that I spent thousands of shekels each month at Mega. Osher Ad just does not excite me. Also, today I went to Hadar and was overwhelmed by the throngs of cars. Parking took more than 30 minutes, as did leaving the garage. Maybe I will try it in mid week after the hag is over. In the meantime, still mourning Mega.<br />batya kallusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-18798165773928221702014-09-18T19:21:06.817+03:002014-09-18T19:21:06.817+03:00Pathetic in a way, to be so excited over a superma...Pathetic in a way, to be so excited over a supermarket, but on the other hand, a suitable supermarket makes such a big difference to our quality of life. And I met loads of people I know there this morning - the social is also a part of it you know. I hope yours is one you like.

Imagine a village of approx 34,000 (it's really a small town based on population figs but has a village feel about it!) losing a large supermarket? Which, I guess, you can. All we have is a very small express Tesco that never has what you need and an expensive Spar that usually does, at a price. Finally the old supermarket is currently being gutted and rebuilt. But by whom? Which supermarket will be moving in?! Rumours abound! I get your excitement, I really do!xxjazzygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069218745940412457noreply@blogger.com
