    I’ve started a thing, I’m avoiding Colesworth as much as possible. I’m interested in exploring new places, and I’ve been fed up with their nonsense for a while. So today took Miniest and went shopping at an independent grocery store a couple of suburbs from here (it’s a big store and worth visiting). Some things were a little more exy but the meat. was. fabulous! The ground beef delicious (we had burritos again for dinner, my kids are obsessed lol) and the steaks were half the price of colesworth and local butcher. There was only a couple of things we use that they didn’t have. I’m happy they didn’t get my money this time, and I’m going to try to do it more in future.

      It’s definitely something I miss about my old place, easy access to good independent grocers. I don’t mind paying more for veg when it tastes a lot better and keeps for longer. And it feels great to not support the duopoly and their BS.

      I don’t really have a good alternative for household items though. Aldi is a bit far and annoying to get to…
