In my experience the Coop is the most expensive retailer of food items
in the market place, especially where they have a near monopoly in rural
areas.

Around my way where there is competition from not only the main
supermarkets, both German supermarkets and quite a few independents
their stores have closed over the past decade.

I wonder when we'll* stop obsessing about price and think about wider costs
like animal welfare, sustainable farming and working conditions? Barely a
mention in this thread - just money.
