That's why I like Boodles Gin. Lotsa juniper to stand up to all that Vermouth, which I also very much enjoy. I like my martinis wet ---even dirty.  nb |

The people who shop at Walmart tend to be on the low end of the income scale, the people whose income is low because places like Walmart buy so much merchandise from overseas suppliers and the local manufacturing jobs have gone off shore. The people who eschew Walmart are more likely to be those who are more economically secure. |

With their volume they could sell more or less at a loss while they waited the family businesses out. We are far from the only place that they have done that to, I hate them. |

I had to go in once when they first came because my SILs medical insurance insisted prescriptions had to be filled there. My daughter gave me grief (probably rightly so) when at first I wouldn't agree to pick up my grandsons medication there. So I swallowed hard and went to pick it up. While waiting I had a look around. I saw cheap goods, clothing with miserable, cheap little hems etc and an HP laptop that looked good until you saw it was a junk HD inside. I heartily disliked their attitude (rather like Costco) of blatantly assuming you were there to steal. |

Most people won't care though. I live in a rural area with a lot of fruits and vegetables and always buy local produce in season, even if it costs more. The corn I am having with my dinner tonight was picked this morning. The strawberries we had yesterday were picked yesterday morning. Most fruits taste a lot better when eaten as soon as possible after picking. It is also income for my neighbours and that keeps the money local. |

I still say 4 oz of gin and 6 oz of diet 7 up or diet sprite is very tasty, gin and diet gingerale mixed the same way is ok too.
