Maybe in the future you will buy (again) from france instead of australia, california etc.
That's the problem with Brexit thinking. People just assume we will still get the goods we have from outside Europe at the same prices, conveniently forgetting that what we pay has been negotiated on our behalf and that agreements exist with these countries.
Everything is likely to go up in price because we won't have the same bargaining power on our own and as Brexit has proved we are rubbish at negotiating.
