Magasins DIA : Hard Discount alimentaire DIA

When I shopped here the other day in Nice, I was attracted by coffee ice cream on a stick withe a chocolate coating. Looks great! The promotional piece that I had from Dia said it would be .99 euros instead of 1.69. Now that I look at my receipt, I was charged 1.99. That's not a big deal but it does point up the necessity to check receipts before leaving this or any other store.

Un supermarché sans emballage contre le gaspillage et les déchets

What a great idea!
Imagine, tho, that we could go through a supermarket as in days of old without any sacks or plastic. Imagine a cart that could expand or contract with storage spaces that were adjustable into which one would put fresh items directly from peppercorns to pumpkins.How far could we take this?
