Very good and realistic analysis.

As predicted Choithram's is more expensive than Spinney's and even Waitrose. In all this i would say G�ant is the best option for its range and prices.

The problem with Lulu and Manama is that they tend to bill you for items that you did not purchase. This has happened more than a couple of times in order for it not be a coincidence.

Supermarkets like Sunrise have rightly been disqualified by their unwarranted high pricing across a number of items (including vegetables) As a matter of fact you get fresher Indian vegetables at G�ant.
