Fair Trade Shop!!

I almost forgot to mention the Fair Trade shop as a reat place to get items that might be hard to find elsewhere. From dried fruit to spices, tea, coffee, sugar, and even pasta, they are a really good source for items. They are in Shirley right across from the Sainsburys that none of us are visiting.

Plus, we got a really nice duvet cover from them recently. Mac bought it, without my knowledge, so it didn't really break my Buy Nothing New year.

Avoiding supermarkets

Hello all.

At our second meeting we decided to have as a second challenge avoiding supermarkets to add some support to Heather's New Year's Resolution.

We didn't lay down any rules. Heather isn't counting the Coop, the one supermarket company that she is happy to shop from. I'm trying to count all supermarkets, and even avoiding chain shops if I can help it.

So, after nearly two weeks, how is everyone getting on?
