15. I now drive out of my way

to a supermarket that doesn't have a magazine section, or trash racks by the cash registers which are all run by real people. They sell only the local newspaper and last week I saw a Christmas display for Farmers Almanac. That's it.
Those stores are out there, take the time to find them. As a reward prices are much lower and my family likes the store brands better than any national brand we have used.
The store deserves a plug - Save-a-lot.
