Being as my other half has been in management at the same grocery store for 23 years, I do have to make sure they stay in business so there is a paycheck coming in every week. They are not a small mom & pop store though and they are not that place that begins with a "W" and ends with "mart". However, if I need something, I refuse to drive clear across town to that store to get it. I do frequent the local stores. And I have to tell you this, even though I am a little embarrassed confessing to it: I love Faygo Diet Red Pop and only out of the plastic bottle; no cans and not a 2 liter bottle either! I cannot find it at any grocery store or big box store in my town. About once every 6-8 weeks, I drive almost an hour to a small town IGA store that doesn't have the self scanners, only has 2 check out lanes, has a bakery where they actually bake from scratch and a deli that makes their own salads, not just opening up a bulk carton and filling a dish. This store has the Faygo pop that I hold so dear! I purchase all that they have on their shelves, which is usually 20 - 25 bottles. I pick up some fresh baked goodies and some deli treats and I drive almost an hour back home. So yep, I help support the little grocery guys too!
