All local convenience stores tend to be a little more expensive. We use our local co-op for the small shop for items such as milk in between the major shopping trips to the supermarket. It saves around £3-£4 in fuel, which is probably more like £6-£8 in the total cost of driving the shopping trip mielage. The circa £10 of co-op purchases may be say 10% more expensive but it's still a lot less than driving to the supermarket.
If your local co-op closes down because Aldi have taken their customers, guess what Aldi will do to their prices at the local stores.
