Support CY supermarkets for the benefit of our country.
ooh you'll have Aunty GiG after you for being Anti-Greek for telling us not to shop at Carrefour, which in Cyprus is now no longer a joint venture but a 100% Greek owned Franchise operation.
As for Lidl, they carry quite a few locally made products - e.g. keo!!! Lidl are popular because their prices are good and many of the products are good vale for money and in these tight times no one can afford to refuse a good deal.
For our part we actually mostly use Alpha Mega: is that Cypriot enough? I am all in favour of Supporting local business where possible, which bearing im mind Carrefour is foreign owned ie Greek, makes not using them seem quite a reasonable idea....
