Must admit that i don't do this.
When dds were small(12 years ago), I lived very near a butchers, bakers, veg shop and general store shopping area and it was very friendly. The woman in the veg shop even gave dd2 a hand knitted jumper that she had been making for her grand dd but had taken so many years to knit , it was no good for her.
Now shop at Asda or Sainsburys but I do work full time now as well,
