Ok... so I know the people who work in the produce department have commented on how they haven't seen me much... BUT... I didn't realize I had cut back on my shopping that much!!!! YAY!!
Of course, I filled out the survey (in detail) and called the 800 number. Here are some of the things I discussed:
Local foods (produce, dairy, seafood), bulk foods, more organics AND how a year or so ago they used our coastal area as a test market for ONLY plastic grocery bags (seriously)... and let them know that the store I do shop at now has a plastic bag ban. ;)
I am just so pumped that I used to be a big spender at Harris Teeter... and now... they've taken notice that I'm spending my money elsewhere....
SO....I would like to thank my Farmers' Markets, my CSA (Cottle Farm Organics), my garden (even though it didn't perform to my expectations), Tidal Creek Cooperative Market, Edens Produce (a roadside farm stand) and the lady that sells local shrimp on the side of the road for helping make this happen!!!

Awesome! And good luck with your garden next year. I was in the same boat...but the tomatoes were delicious!
ReplyDelete:) Thanks chopsticks! Making me smile!
ReplyDeleteAndi... my tomatoes were lacking to say the least... they could've been grand but they just never did anything... green, check. Red... not so many. They just never ripened. BOO!! Such a bummer because last year I had buckets that I was giving away!! I did however get loads of green beans and potatoes... oh.. and my asparagus were pretty AWESOME (next year will be a bounty)... fall garden better not be a wash!! Thanks for the luck... now could you have a word with mother nature for me!? ;)
