People are buying the new products due to a lack of cheaper alternatives, which you said yourself (it's the whole reason they're carrying local items in the first place).

Once those cheaper items return to shelves, a significant portion of the shoppers will return to them.

Please don't tell me what I said, especially when I didn't.

The new product I particularly had in mind is both cheaper and better (coffee).

Can I tell you what you didn't say? You didn't say the local item was cheaper. That's an important bit of your argument.
