Ok...I think that I may have cheated....or it felt that way anyway. I had gone to 3 stops trying to find all of the things on our grocery list on Saturday morning. I had been successful in most places but there were a few things that I could not find. So I was heading to Manch-Vegas to go to the natural food store when it dawned on me that I could stop at what used to be called Vista but is now Harvest Market in Bedford. I walked in and went to the service center and warned them that I had a random question. I then asked about whether or not they were a chain. I was met with a blank stare. I asked, "Are there other Harvest Markets?" They said yes. I asked where? They listed off a bunch of NH towns, so I said, "So you are a NH chain?" They said yes. Sweet I thought! But as a miandered through this store I felt as though I was cheating. Yes the money would stay in the local economy, which is our goal, but I was still able to find things like jello pudding and Kraft macaroni and cheese (not that I bought it but I could find it).
If I didn't cheat, it sure felt like I was. Really this was just a mini sized version of a big box store, almost like a big box store wanna be. Did I cheat?

Do not by any means call your blog Adventures in Bateysitting and title a post "I think I cheated..." You came this close to putting sme money into our local hospital... I thought I was having a stroke... Let's just say that it wasn't the local economy I thought you were cheating on. Whew!
I found an article that might make you feel better... http://www.allbusiness.com/retail/retailers-food-beverage-stores-grocery-supermarkets/12274281-1.html
Looks like you were faithful!
