26. We don't buy at Aldi or Lidl, which are often the 'go-to' for Brits and American ex-pats here in France

Mostly because of the lower prices.

We have yet to find the stores welcoming or with products that we want.

Carrefour and Auchan are the big 'grand surface' box stores, along with LeClerc.We generally buy at smaller stores.
