I am heading out the door to check out a yard sale or two and to get some groceries. So glad I don't have to ride in a wagon! :)
I don't mind grocery shopping. I consider it a challenge. Well actually, its two challenges. one- finding the best bargains, two- dealing with the other shoppers. :)
There is not much choice in our town of where to shop. We have Walmart( of course, they are everywhere!), Riesbeck's, More For Less(Riesbeck's little sister) and Aldi's.
I like them all!
I get most of our basics from Aldi's.
We try not to do alot of shopping at Walmart. Why you may ask?? Cause I would rather give my business to the small town stores than to a corporation. maybe my shopping( or lack of shopping ) doesnt make a huge difference, but it makes me feel better. I even search the thrift stores for fabric( wool pants, jackets, cotton sheets for dolls, etc) instead of purchasing fabric from there either.
I wish we had a Marc's store closer to us. The first time I went to one was about a month ago. We were in Canton, Ohio and I really like that store. I had bought a jar of MID'S spaghtetti sauce and loved it(and it's made in Ohio)!!

ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI worked on that tree today and it totally took on a life of it's own. The thing is so Halloween. Can I have that link to vintage Halloween pics?
I can't wait to finish the tree and post the pics, the other girls in the shop were going wild over it.
Great post!!! Did someone say a link to vintage Halloween pictures. I would like that link too please.....Have a great weekend ....Mary

ReplyDeleteHey girly! Come by my blog, you have an award waiting!
ReplyDeleteHi, I know what you mean at trying to buy at small town stores. We like to do that too, but it's so expensive everywhere. Even Wal-Mart has jacked prices up here. It's quite the challenge!! I too love Aldi's, I don't get there often enough!
