Where to shop ?
Posted: Wed Feb 11, 2015 6:06 pm
Hi all, been quietly following on and off for a while now, and have a question to share/ask....
I havent brought groceries or anything from the 'Big 4' for several years now, deliberately for ethical reasons. I live in a small town with a Booths and Co Op and a medium quality local veggie shop [which my partner doesnt much like, but is being encouraged to use] We tend to manage locally, more with Booths than local veg shop these days, with the odd Aldi shop in nearby town, once a month or so. I have suggested to him I want to use local shop more and he is ok with this in principle, but he does like his luxuries/treats. We grow some veggies and fruit, but not a lot.
Soooo, anyone got any comments regarding ethical choice of stores ? How does Aldi fit into the picture ? And Booths ? Any other suggestions ? sadly the veg box scheme I used to get no longer comes out this far, I have asked several times, but no.
Thanks in advance
Sarah
