One thing about living out in the sticks is that we rely on local shops for those emergency items. Well I have discovered that within a short drive from where I live there is a filling station and Spar supermarket which opens from 07. 30 -22.00 hours and can cater for all your needs.
I have found that the produce is mostly local and the freshness of it is first class. There is a butchery department in store and the meat is off excellent quality.
There is a small sub post office on the premises which operates 09.00-17.00 Monday to Friday.
It is possible to do your weekly shop in this store as I have observed some people do and the amazing thing is that the prices compete with the larger supermarkets!
I am all for supporting our local stores especially when you can buy such good quality produce. read more
