re: #387 allegro

I find better prices and have a much more enjoyable time at the local family run used book store. I get a ton of books at reduced prices and support a local family with my money staying in the community. Why I buy my produce at a farmer’s market, too. Better stuff, lower prices. It can be done.

Like I said in the end WalMart and all large retailers success depends on the willingness of the local consumer to willingly not shop at businesses run by their neighbors.

(of course some people have no “farmer’s market” and the produce there is more expensive then at a grocery store or there is no local bookstore or even a “downtown” area with merchants for a large retailer to put out of business. That being said I hate shopping at WalMart but I do it.)
