What Else is There?

Olbermann says it all.

Woe is Wal-Mart

I saw this list of ten healthiest grocery store chains on the Today show last week. You can view the list HERE. Sadly, the only one of these chains within a reasonable driving distance of my house (20 miles or so) is Target. So what is there to choose from around my house? Wal-Mart, Super 1, Brookshire’s. While I would love to shop somewhere other than Wal-Mart, Brookshire’s and Super 1 are both more expensive, and in the midst of the craptaculous economy, I can’t pay more overall. I splurge on various items for organics of other Earth-friendly products, but, let’s face it, none of the stores in my area are terribly green.

We do have a farmer’s market with a few vendors who sell fresh eggs and fruits/veggies, but it’s a sad turnout most weekends. The most I’ve ever seen were three vendors at a time. It’s enough to get by and get some fresh produce, but again, not much variety. I would loooove to dig into some free range meats, but I’ll have to do a bit more homework before I can pull that off.

How about you? Where do you shop?
