Thema: Re: you almost ALWAYS save money shopping there. Overhead doesn't matter when you sell in bulk. That's why so many mom and pop's have gone out of business.

Artful Dodger: Many chains have gone out of business here due to overheads. Most of what the chains sell can be bought from small shops or (what I call) warehouse internet shops for 50% or more off.... and one of them due to a stupid law (soon to be gone??)

..... as for "mom and pop's" ... we've seen so many new ones open up in the last few years as people have migrated back to using them in the UK. The area I live in is 80% independents and many offer goods that cannot be bought in chains.

Not if you've got brains.
