A BARGAIN supermarket with more than 300 stores closes TODAY – and locals feel they're now living in a ghost town.<\/p>\n

The Farmfoods store in Market Street,\u00a0Huddersfield, will scan its last bar code at 4pm.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But shoppers will have the chance to snap up a bargain with 50 percent off all stock.<\/p>\n

Though locals feel put out, with one prophesying resident writing on Facebook: "Huddersfield is changing."<\/p>\n

Another said: "Huddersfield in town stores closing down = Iceland, Farmfoods, and Wilkos, why?<\/p>\n

"Rents to high."<\/p>\n
