Mulled wine 440Flora I sometimes use both! The way I do it is reasonably cheap - I make it with equal quanbreasties of wine and water...

Our Makro here in Leeds isn't messy, and they don't charge a membership fee.
Their meat is good (for a supermarket) offering both USDA and Aberdeen Angus certified beef, for instance, but both very expensive.
The freezer section has a lot of gloppy American food that is not to British tastes, inc. cheap low quality frozen warm water seafood.
The greengrocery section tends to sell fruit & veg packaged in unusually large quanbreasties.Good for a dinner party, say, but not a Sunday dinner. Prices are quite good though.
Processed foods and ingredients can be unfamiliar American brands and difficult to place on the quality scale. "Kirkland" extra virgin olive oil anyone?

On the plus side all their electrical goods in fact all goods, period, (except computers, cheeky peeps had been turning in perfectly good computers-laptops to get "perpetual upgrades" ) effectively come with a 3 year no quibble warranty. I took a dud TV back with just it's remote control and user manual in a plastic bag just 3 days before my 3 years was up and got re-imbursed in *cash*.The price of tellies had gone down in the 3 years I'd had it so I went back home with a brand new telly and GBP 130 in the folding stuff. :)
