Avoiding the Grocery Store: A 30-Day Challenge
The author of this article is going to try to avoid the grocery store for a month. She is following a challenge called "The 30-Day No Grocery Store Challenge." Except for a $30 allowance, it's her goal to bypass the grocery store and buy things more locally:
"I’m one of the many Americans who wants to eat healthier, believes in organic food (in theory, if not in actual purchases) and loves the idea of supporting small, local businesses. But, I almost always find practicalities outweighing these ideals ...
As the mother of two, preschool-age children, I worry about the extra time commitment of this challenge. I also worry that this commitment won’t be sustainable for my budget. Will budget considerations make me consider other changes to my diet as well?"
Ms. Macario will be reporting in over the next several weeks, and I look forward to following along!
Where do you do your shopping each week? Have you changed your shopping habits at all?
Have a great Friday, my friends! I'll see you here again very soon ...
