To Market, To Market to buy a Fat Pig

Frugality is so trendy right now, but it is definitely a way of life for us.  We coupon, we recycle reduce and reuse, we garden.  This is at least true for the Yin part of our household, the Yang tends to splurge.  Balance to the force is crucial, so we are grateful we find joy in our duality.

Regardless, we must now learn these concepts anew.  There are old friends here such as Walmart, Target, KMart, Walgreens, and CVS pharmacy.  But our old and faithful grocery friends will be left far behind.  We are left to learn of the foreign HEB, Randalls, Albertsons, Safeway, Whole Foods, and all of the farmers markets we can find.  Feel free to follow us as we learn all that we can about these new and strange locations.  We will be experts on what to do and NOT to do before long.

I now shed a tear, and pause for a moment of silence for those who will be left behind.  We remember them (and their stellar savings) fondly:

Rite Aid
Harris Teeter
Farm Fresh
Kroger
Five Points
