We are all chasing down value. Sometimes it feels like the stretchy elastic of our budgets has become a bit too worn and it might be prone to snapping and sagging. Just like the knee-high socks I had to wear with my school uniform which have been washed too many times.
Readers often ask me where the best supermarket is to shop in and I am always hesitant to answer this question. I might have my own preferences based on my household needs but these might not fit readers' needs so instead, I always advise people to chase value rather than select a store of choice.
