I think your main problem would be stock levels at the store.  I don't
know what it's like where you shop, but having moved house, I now shop at
a different store.  I used to be able to pick up about 80% of what I
wanted.  Now, I find about 40% is out of stock.

As an example, I've been shopping there for 3 months now, and I have yet
to find a 4 pint bottle of skimmed milk.  Most weeks we're able to get
two 
2 pint bottles, but last week, the closest match was 4 pints of whole 
milk!  They had no skimmed or semi-skimmed, or smaller bottles of
whole 
milk!
