It's quite nice that Amazon has sucha great online site for my perusal... And I take GREAT pleasure in copying the details of what I find there to buy, and emailing my Local Shop to order it for me from their supplier.
It costs more through my local shop, but that money pays living wages to people in my community and we are able to afford the little extra it costs us. Win Win.
I HATE walmart & amazon.... I have watched both decimate mom& pop shops.
