The bigger supermarchés have fewer Bret's flavours I think. Below images are from our local "La Panier Sympa" 😊

The local shop, "La Panier Sympa", has *37* varieties of Bret's crisps. More than even the big Carrefour or Intermarché. Love it here 🥰 Magical ✨

Today I absentmindedly broke the crust of my toast in two and held out the pieces, either side of me, for Dubh and Ghost. Then I remembered that Dubh was gone and I've been destroyed all day 😞

The best deal is for essential services to be provided by local authorities and not for-profit companies 🤷
