I'll go on 3 years ago

I’ll go on keeping aware of my possibilities to choose where I’ll buy my stuff. And I’ll always try to find a balance between the goal to buy in independant/local shops and costs/my money to spend. I agree to spend some more money, and I think sometimes I’ll really get better quality. But I’ll allow myself to buy lots of apples at “Aldi” during the wintertime. They taste soooo gooood and they cost only 20 per cent of those from the local fruit grower (and he uses a lot of poison, too). I’ll buy other fruits from him….



I do this always... 3 years ago

... not only 14 days of my life: Most things I buy in local, independent shops. Lots of my food I buy from the producer/grower: Vegetable, potatoes, fruits, meat, milk, honey, nuts, flowers, plants, cheese from sheep. Now and then I buy some furniture, toys, clothes, pottery etc. from the handworker who made this. Often (not always) it’s more expansive than buying in chain shops – but the quality is much better! And I prefer to use very few thing of good quality very often and love to touch and use them – than possessing lots of cheap things that don’t mean anything to me and don’t make me enjoying to work with them or to use them somehow.

And I avoid to buy things with lots of packaging materials. I prefer buying unpackaged goods. No tins.
