They know me and my kids. They even let me borrow tools like if I need to change a sink washer. Many people think it is cheaper to shop at the big box stores, but quality of life isn't factored in. Not to mention the money staying in the community.   <strong><em>You are right. Could you see someone at Lowe's loaning you tools??? </em></strong>   I shop at the local hardware store rather than the DIY at the mall because even though the prices are higher, I get service.

We do need supermarkets, but we need specialty shops too. It has taken me a whike to get used to buying 10 envelopes at a time from the tabaccheria and watching the shopkeeper take them out of the box of 500 I used to buy. But everybody does it here. As to who eats at fast food? WE only have McDs at Perugia... it is the Italians of course.   <strong><em>Ha. I have a mental image of you counting out your envelopes! lol. And no, we don't eat at McDs here, either. Although they just did open up a McDrive ... I'm interested to see how that goes down!</em></strong>   .-= Judith in Umbria´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.judithgreenwood.com/thinkonit/zucchini-still-producing-zucchini-pie/" rel="nofollow">Zucchini still producing?
