This.
I don't really enjoy shopping, but I always like to look at what I buy before buying it, especially perishable stuff. I also might see something on sale, or decide to get something that's not on the list.
I live in a rural area and absolutely shop for my own groceries-I’ve followed an all natural and organic diet most of my life-no processed food, non GMO, mostly paleo, no refined sugar, no margarine-only real butter, etc etc. I avoid anything in a can or box. There is a small-chain store out here that you only find in tiny towns in rural areas-Lowe’s Market.
That store caters to the natural-living folks like me-they have good grass-fed free range meat, Texas-grown veggies and most fruit is from here or Mexico, and everything is fresh and organic. It is cheaper than most of the organic groceries at the big box places and supports our local economy. -I’m perfectly happy to make the 18 mile drive there-or stop on my way from work near there-every 2 weeks to get what I want. I do order hair stuff and most cosmetics online-and pet stuff from Chewy-but I get paper goods. trash bags, cleaning supplies at the Lowe’s, too.
