Day Eleven

I hope I'm not coming across as preachy.

I needed new laundry detergent, and I wasn't sure how to proceed.
The first time I heard of Method, I thought it was a Target brand.  When I realized I was going to need cleaning supplies and household items, I started perusing the shelves of Whole Foodies.  Again, I was faced with the Masked Corporation dilemma. The only product that was from California was Method, so I added that company to my list of companies to look into.

I was so pleasantly surprised. Check this out.  


After my run today with M., we went into Trader Joe's to cool down and wait for our ride home. I realized that I hadn't been in a TJ's since I began this slightly self-righteous mission. I missed it, the familiarity. I can walk into any Traders and grocery shop for a week in 15 minutes and spend under $100.  I went to WF the other day for some supplies and spent over an hour and $80. When I was driving home a few days ago I saw one of 'my' TJ friends. It dawned on me then too that I missed the people as well.  I've known them all for 10 years...and I've been MIA for almost two weeks. 


Maybe I need to stock up on wine, beer, and rice cakes: some of the few items I'll be able to still purchase.
