Sticking it to the Man - No Supermarket Shopping for a Month!

Lately I feel as though I am always at the supermarket. While I only duck in for a couple of items, I always end up with a shopping basket filled to the brim of other things we "need". Damn you product placement people making me want to buy everything I see, damn you!

Since I like to set myself 'mini challenges' to spice up my life a little, I have decided that I will not be setting foot into a supermarket for the month of June. Unfortunately I failed to check how much toilet paper we had before I made this claim. My bad.


I will still be buying grocery items just from other sources, so it really isn't going to be much of a challenge at all. Or maybe it will be, who knows!

I think we could all be supporting our local community a little more, so I will be purchasing the items we need from farmer's markets and small family owned grocers stores. Alternatively, I may consider bartering my skills for required items, if I should find any interested parties.


Righteo.... best get onto doing a google search to find out what others use in loo of real toilet paper. See what I did there? A play on words... Funny, right?

Oh, and if you're planning on coming to visit me any time soon, make sure you bring sugar for your coffee. We're just about out!
