We use the local butchers, greengrocers and fishmongers. Maybe costs a wee bit more but the quality is better and you are supporting local business.
I learned to cook a fair bit when I was furloughed as my missus was working as she is a key worker. Fair enjoyed it. Much better for you cooking from fresh produce.

Aye supporting local businesses is the way to go.
I think that's good that you do that.
