Grocery shopping and the economic decline.

Have you changed the way you buy groceries over the last year?  For me, I am much more conscious of the cost of groceries, and so I try to avoid impulse items and waste.  On the other hand, I did sign up for the CSA again, and I still shop at Whole Foods (though I do shop LOADS more at Reading Terminal Market, which requires more planning, but is much cheaper.)

I was discussing this with Jenny last fall, and, at the end of the day, organic isn’t my thing.  I mean, I think it’s great, but I buy local because it tastes better, and because I think it’s important to have local food producers when the revolution comes.  And I prefer to at least pretend that Whole Foods meat is better and safer than grocery store meat.  Who really knows, though?

Thanks to Marlon for the link.
