or not. I priced the baseboard trim at our local hardware store. The exact same trim at our local store was a whopping $0.04 more expensive per foot. Maybe it's me, but that's not worth driving to the next town! So I bought 24 feet. And the paint was the SAME. So, a local hardware store has the same prices, but the Home Depot has all the fluff. Martha Stewart paint instead of paint. Eco-friendly cedar instead of cedar. It's all in the marketing, and consumers are suckers. Hence the consuming.
I am pretty happy that I got to do the distributisty thing for the house projects and buy local. I even got paint that is from the Northwest. I'm not sure how "from" that Northwest it is, but I want to say Tacoma or something. I could drive to the plant! Not that I want to, but I could.
I still haven't gone for a real grocery trip, but my peas are coming in, so we may do stir fry all week! Who knows! We'll see what this week brings!
