always remember, look out for number one, and be careful not to step in number two.
you gotta do what you gotta do, which is feed your family on a tight budget. It sure beats spending twice as much at a Trader Joes or Whole Foods stores just to you can feel good about yourself for giving twice your money to a less large but still large corporation.

I honestly think all our little daily furies and boycotts against some retail stores, petrol stations, a local coffee-house who sold you a not-so-perfect croquette and whatnot are pretty useless. Most stuff we're buying (at least in Europe) comes from the same outlets, so if you boycott this one you'll probably end up buying the same stuff from the same supplier anyway. You can boycott and ruin a particular store from malpractice but you cannot ruin their business. This said, I guess we are a bit lucky here down in pt, because we have nice retail-stores.

Target has really cheap groceries.

yeh, we've just about finished the veges we grew in our little experimental plot. Next year I really want to plough at least half our property and get some quantities growing - I know the soil is good for pretty much anything we planted this year, tomatoes, okra, carrots, etc - we could get 100sq yrds growing quite easily, so we'd at least be able to barter something when noone will take money anymore..
- dude, you know how much tomato seeds are going for these days... .23 CENTS! FUCK THAT!kona

I went to Walmart for the first time this summer because the had cheaper bags of mulch than Home Depot. What a mistake that was, they didn't have any heavy duty carts so I had to put 13 bags of bark dust in 2 shopping carts. I had to wait in this line with every dreg of society buying lead tainted toys, poisoned toothpaste and milk. Then to top it off the cashier that clearly wasn't even qualified to work a cash register at Walmart couldn't figure out how to cash in a gift card for someone and had to call a manger. All in all I did save 1 dollar a bag but the pain and suffering wasn't worth it.
