May 22nd, 2006 - fibermom’s favorite places to shop

I really resonated with fibermom’s post about shopping at the farmer’s market and other local places. I don’t have quite as much connection with my local places, except my pharmacy. But I wish I did and as I visit them more, perhaps that will happen.

Wait, as I think more about it…I do have this relationship at the Red Radish (natural foods store) as well, and I’m working on it at the children’s consignment shop. (I don’t consign, but I buy there about once a month.) Most of our shopping is done at the grocery stores, Target, and Menards. None of them lend themselves to “getting to know you.” (Except for Target, however, they are regional stores, which is nice. And I just learned my favorite cheese brand is also a local brand. By both of these terms I mean owned by people in NorthEast WI or WI in general. I know the grocery store and the cheese are NEW. I think Menard’s is a bit farther afield.)
