New Markets – shopping for food in the 21
st
century
Making a long trip to the supermarket
and queuing for hours used to be the
normal weekly routine for British and
American shoppers. But since the
1990s, there is a better way to get your
groceries. Supermarket shopping on
the Internet has boomed in the UK and
the USA.
The major supermarkets have their
own websites, and if you order on-line
with them, for extra sum such as $8/£5
the
supermarkets
will
do
your
shopping for you and deliver it to your
door. If you shop with them regularly,
they will “remember” your favourite
items so you can order them next time
without searching the item!
These days thousands of people in the
UK and the States regularly do their
supermarket shopping in this way. In
contrast, in many rural areas of
Britain there has been a return to the
traditional outdoor market. Farmers'
markets, where famers sell their
products directly to the customer, had
practically died out in Britain because
of
the
attraction
of
the
large
supermarkets, but they have been
resurrected recently, both to help
farmers make more profits, and to
provide customers with 'real' food
again, such as fresh meat, eggs,
vegetables and preserves. Organic food
has become very popular, and some
producers a run a “box service”, where
they deliver a weekly box of fruit and
vegetables to your door. Customers
can't select the food - they just receive
whatever is in season- but it is
guaranteed to be fresh and free from
chemicals and now you can often order
these on-line too!
