We go to the Cabo Riog store, whilst the variety is nowhere near the pre 31st Dec levels, they have been slowly improving, but are still a long way off what they were this time last year.
Not much in the way of Waitrose products but plenty of Supavalu & Tesco. There was very little in the way of fresh veg and fruit when we were there last Thursday, but I never buy those from Overseas as can get much better choice and quality at Cabo Roig market on Thursdays.
Fresh milk can be a bit hit and miss, but again no big deal as can get at any Supermarket, only get it at Overseas for convenience.
Prices have increased for example I normally treat myself to a couple of Frys Turkish delights which were €1 these are now €1.50 which is some mark up! We do find ourselves buying less and less from the Overseas, can see a time when we will probably only go once every month or 2

Bassetts liquorice allsorts are available from Iceland stores, Masymas, The Barrel Bodega (Benidorm) and several mini "British" supermarkets.
