These

i would like to but there is a very strict limit to my finances. i am willing to pay more but there is a ceiling.

Neither do I...chuckles...but all that means is that I continue to explore all the little shops in my Neighbourhood. I actually prefer that than to have only 1 shop to shop at.

We try to do that too. Unfortunately, we don’t seem to have independent grocers in our neighbourhood to satisfy all our needs.

I so very rarely buy anything from the Loblaw conglomerate these days that buying Canadian means to me investing my shopping dollars in the independent grocery stores more often. Between that and shopping online to try new things I wouldn't have thought to try also means I'm investing my shopping dollars with small Canadian businesses across our country.
