(Unless it's a Belgray-style non-boycott boycott.) Because JM is Gristedes. I had a feeling they were more expensive there. Just a gut feeling, because I don't really compare prices. I wish I had the motivation to trek to Trader Joe's. I couldn't believe how cheap it was when I went w. my sister in LA.

I boycott Food Imporium and Gristedes...they both leave me feeling dirty...I might as well hit the latest porn shop for that feeling! I am now down to Fresh Direct...but I hate all the boxes..Gourmet Garage (which is the NYC apartment..way too much stuff cramped into too small of a space!) and Jefferson Market (hello $$$)...I get the shakes at Whoel Foods and Trader Joes..my claustrophobia and lack of patience (lines) can't take it...unless I go at 10am on a Tuesday...sigh...

I'm not a big fan of living in Ohio but at least I don't have to worry about insects in my food (now I'm going to have to go check everything...)! Ummm, gross... There has to be a support group for people who make bad choices based on convenience.

I just remembered that the jingle says that the store was made just for ME, not you. So, how can you boycott a store that was made just for me? Because, after all, someone's got my kind of quality.
