Grocery III

Do they think we are stupid? Last week 12 packs of soda were 5/10$. SO 2$ each. Today they were "on sale" for 3/12$. So double. Do they think we are dumb, or is the math too much for the average american???

Finally Something Good (and some normal rants)

Saw something on the news that made me happy. Local farms will allow people to pay once per season to "own" some of the farm, giving them the right to 10lb of produce each week during the season. If everyone did it, it would discourage shipping in of mass-produced stuff from (you guessed it) other countries. What do you think happens when you grow a watermelon in a country with tainted water supplies? Plus it probably takes tons of fuel to ship food around, when it is easy to make it locally. And yes, when gas runs out, I will go a few months without tomatoes. This winter, I pulled a carrot from the ground in 10 degree weather, and it was fine staying underground. SO I think we can alter our winter diets and be FINE.

Anyways, wouldn't it save a ton of energy if every store in the US turned the A/C up 2 degrees all day, or at least for part of the day? Aren't you freezing when you leave a grocery store?

Oh yeh, and closing 600 starbucks stores is a good start.
