NON SUPERMARKET WEEK

THIS EMAIL HAS BEEN SENT TO ME -

SUNDAY 1st April

'NON - SUPERMARKET WEEK'

Like me, you're probably fed up with hearing about all the millions of pounds in profit the supermarkets are making
and the way they squeeze everyone else out of business.....
and I for one believe they're getting a bit complacent about the level of service and value for money they offer.

Now I know it's convenient, all the good under one roof, but when you think about it, the deal isn't really that good,

nor is the experience.....and the poor old shopkeeper on the high street is losing out big time, which ultimately LIMITS OUR CHOICES so.........

for just one week.........let's shop somewhere else!

Let's buy our bread from a baker and our fish from a fishmonger! Now there's a thought!

Haven?t got a fishmonger anymore where you live? That proves the point. Buy your greens from the greengrocer while there still is one.

Let's see if, as a nation, we can get on the news and wipe the smile off of the shareholders faces.

Let's give them something to worry about.... instead of them just counting the piles of cash from dividends we give them!

The staff will still get paid and they won't lose their jobs, it's just delivering a wake up call....we have the power!

Just think we'll take away 1/52 of all the turnover = £Millions

Come on...let's do it, you never know...for one week only

We might get to like it!

So.....week commencing...

Sunday 1st April

'NON - SUPERMARKET WEEK'

See you in the Butchers, Bakers, Greengrocers, Post Office, Stationers, Book Shop, Newsagents, Delicatessen, Chemist, Farmers Market, independent local stores, farm shop etc etc

I'd see them in the funny farm if I had to visit that lot twice a week!

Nice idea if you have a farmers' market, fishmonger, butchers, greengrocers, anywhere near where you live

I have been thinking more along these lines but I am struggling to find a grocer I can get too, fantasic delis all over the place though but butchers and bakers are a bit easier.

I have been reading a good book called "Shopped" which tells you all the home truths that you probably suspected but didn't really want to think about too much.

Consider Why are Golden Delicious apples not golden? They are meant to be.
