As a Christian I really want the way I live to have consistency, no Sunday only behaviour for me, well that's the theory. So right now I'm considering the whole issue of where I buy my food and household items and so that puts supermarkets and for me and the better half Tesco right in the spotlight. So I've just finished reading 'Shopped' and it's really made me think and we're going to experiment and see the time and money implications of shopping elsewhere. Anyway for those interested in some of the issues in Shopped but aren't going to read the whole book then try here for an interview with the author. I worry that I buy into personal crusades but JB is a respected journalist for her bio click here
Anyone changed the way they buy? Did it make any difference?Monday, January 22, 2007

As an experiment I tried to minimize my weekly Tesco shop by buying all our non-fresh food from www.goodnessdirect.co.uk. We already buy organic where possible and have our fruit and veg via an organic box scheme, so it seemed like an obvious next step. Goodness direct are very good, and I still use them from time to time, but because the delivery takes 3 or 4 days, I found it quite hard to plan that far ahead. It also added between 25 and 50% to our weekly grocery bill. Maybe I should try our local organic/health food shops, but then I have to pay town centre parking, or carry shopping for a family of six on the bus... So now I'm using sainsburys-to-you as their organic range is better, but I'm not sure that's really an ethical improvement. Ginny
