I'm not fond of Walmart, though I don't make a big
deal about it because my sisinlaw works there.  In
addition to the reasons already mentioned it is on the
other side of town and I don't like the big store.

I also have a preference for main street and for local
businesses.  I buy my gas at the small supermarket in
Huntsville near where I will be living.  Don't compare
prices, assume it costs more but I can accept that 
because I want to help make sure that they stay in
business.

It is easier for me to take this attitude because I am
not struggling financially.  When we were raising kids
we could not afford that attitude.  I guess now I feel
we are giving a little to the community.

I would be interested in a little feedback.  I'm sure
that along with our preference for self sufficiency
most of us are concerned with our local communities. 
Or is that just my ideal?
