Todays shopping accomplished: The nearest supermarket is a little store only a couple of blocks away from our house. It is fairly small compared to supermarkets in small town USA, but it is packed with a lot of products. I go there about once a week, usually when the refrigerator starts to look bare, in between shopping excursions to the bigger supermarkets like Coop or Auchan or Carrefour. Shopping at the open air market on Corso Svizzera is also nice and usually entertaining, but it is better to shop there when you don't have an idea of what you want to cook first. That way the fresh produce can inspire you; that and it is a little difficult to plan meals when you are never quite certain what you will find at the open air market. With a supermarket it is different. I know what GS stocks and can easily bring home in a backpack the amount of food pictured above. Another plus of shopping at the local supermarket is my little secret... I don't love to shop with a crowd, always being bumped into. I prefer to shop while everyone else is at home having lunch. GS around 1 pm is nearly empty, and I can browse uninterrupted.
