CVS wants me to stop shopping with them.
I'll just goto a fucking supermarket. It's faster. Yes, even with the checkouts.
Many supermarkets are enshittifying/rent seeking too though
I've been looking into the local veggie co-op. You pay for the season and you can pick up a box of veggies once a week, all locally sourced. I'd go to the farmers market, but I'm worried it'll just be a bunch of people selling marked up veggies they got from the grocery store.
Fortunately, at the farmers market, you can usually look up the farmer. Eg, visit once or twice just observing, seeing who gets visited by regulars, Google the farm name to look up details and reviews, etc
Will do. Cleaning up the sourcing of my food for both health and political reasons is a goal of mine for 2025. If I can grow it, trade it, or get it from a farmer locally, the supermarkets can take the loss.
Unfortunately, farmers markets are rarely open in the evening. Actually that is a bit of a business opportunity...
