New Year, New Rules of Honor...

What am I talking about?  This year I have decided to do my best to only shop in stores that are NOT chains.  I think I can do it.  Let me share with you some of my local businesses that I do shop at.
First there is the Grocery Store..... Sunflower  located at 726 Sutter Street Yuba City, CA It's a health food store with a deli.  I love this place.  You walk in and the smell of spices is everywhere.  They have fresh veggies, mostly locally grown.  They have in house bread, many varieties plus buns and even very small loafs for those of us who are a family of one or two.  A  very large supply of of health food brands in refrigerator and freezer.  A large section of vitamins and fresh herbs and many bulk items....nuts, beans, granola and you grind your own peanut  butter.  They also have local honey which you pour into your own container, which I always forget and have to use the paper container in the store.  The deli's food is vegetarian and so delicious.  They have sandwiches, soups, burritos, salads, nacho's and much more.  The owners and staff are very helpful and friendly.  My husband and I try to have lunch there a couple times a month along with  doing some shopping.  It's a great place to shop and just hang out but a word of warning the place is packed by noon with a long line so get there early or have a late lunch.

I know what you are thinking, I have already stated I do go to the store we all love to hate but what I am telling you is...... I'm going to do my best to only shop in stores that are local, locally owned   and not a chain.  Wish me luck.  Tootles
