One of the things I most enjoy about this kind of store is that while it has something of almost everything, it does not have every brand of each thing. I just think sometimes that the number of choices we have at a grocery store or a department store smacks of absolute consumerism.

Lately he has been visiting old country stores. I had no idea there were still so many around, and some pretty close to us. We love country ham!!Henny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958386938311591314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-674682072450419952018-04-08T12:16:00.239-07:002018-04-08T12:16:00.239-07:00Bacon for $4 a pound is a bargain, it is 6 plus in...Bacon for $4 a pound is a bargain, it is 6 plus in the stores here.
