Don't shop at the SUPERMARKETS!

Watching 4Corners tonight I was reminded of why I started this blog in the first place. I have long disliked supermarkets, but like most of us shop there, because of the hours and convenience. I've kept fairly true to my New Year's resolution not to buy so called fresh food from the fresh food people, but failed fairly badly at not going there more than once a month or less. Have I sought out small grocers and independents. Well yes....... Do I shop there regularly .... well no. I love Green Garage in Byron despite the hopeless traffic in Byron Pay. In Brisbane Sirrani's in the valley is wonderful. The Ferry Road precinct in Southport is good, but pricey, but they are all too far away to be practical on a daily basis.
I believe that we have to shop with our ideals. This country has already lost its manufacturing industry. Every day I drive through some of the richest horticultural in the land. Most months I see yet another real estate sign out.
New vow to stop using the supermarkets, shop fresh, buy local. It is easy here ... no excuse. Wish that the Hill ST Grocer was within 10 kms of me.
