    I empathize with you and understand your position. That being said, if everyone in your community were to be willing to pay higher prices at a more local grocer, they would be able to reduce prices over time. That would also require zoning deregulation and such, but our capitalistic system demands that the larger corporation (with the ability to tank losses more easily,) amasses more consumer loyalty, and therefore drive smaller grocers out of business.

    I don’t know, I’m drunk and lost the plot halfway through this comment.

      Yeah, there is a place close by. 2-3 min. on foot, if not less. But I hear it’s pricier. I do go there from time to time, when needed urgent, but am big dumdum, no see price
