I feel very strongly about supporting local fabric/quilt shops. They will be gone if we don't buy there. I'd rather buy less, too.Terri Thayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09953154767532970027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-82553835714420699052010-10-28T15:54:24.695-04:002010-10-28T15:54:24.695-04:00I have started going to whatever local store I can...I have started going to whatever local store I can find and paying more. I have come to despise places like Walmart. They have destroyed our small mom and pop stores and I guess what did it for me was how they ran out all of the small stores with fabric and now they are getting rid of the fabric in their stores. For someone like me, I can still drive to the city to purchase fabric, but the little old ladies who love to quilt and purchased their fabric at Walmart, where will they get their fabric now? Unless it is an emergency, I refuse to go into a Walmart. I have even moved my prescriptions away from them. Yes, I will pay more, but feel better doing so.JaneThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17641896113640285842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-43183404837383675212010-10-28T11:55:21.081-04:002010-10-28T11:55:21.081-04:00Oops--I'm so confused about the change I addre...Oops--I'm so confused about the change I addressed my comment to Betty.

I suspect not. <br /><br />Linda, at least I know I follow you whatever day it is.

I'm finding that I'm shopping less at my local big-chain grocery store because it keeps increasing prices on the things I buy most. Instead, I'm going to the smaller chains a lot more--and possibly helping them, in my small way, to grow and thrive.Linda O.

But losing my grocer store--another small, local chain--would be too much.

Right now I'm dealing with a daytime work situation which necessitates a change that I'm dreading. I do know once it happens, things will be okay.<br /><br />A lot of these mom and pops stores are losing ground and I'm going to miss walking into a store where they know you name and what items you mostly purchase.<br /><br />Sometimes change is good but hard.Druhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978384022143035332noreply@blogger.com
