Sorry.
No problem at all, my dear. :)
We have to buy local whenever possible. I know that we cannot always do this but many times we can substitute local brands, store brands and anything that is locally owned and not part of a national chain. The national corporations swamp television with their ads convincing people to buy the “popular brands”, they are popular because they advertise on television. We do not have to follow the siren’s song of television advertising and we can teach our kids to be less consumer driven and more thoughtful about what we purchase.
