I found a new grocery store!!
Since we moved back in May the kids started a new school and I just happened to pass a Carlie C's IGA on the way to pick up my daughter who wasn't feeling well. I wanted to stop on the way back through, but she just wanted to go home. We went home and I got online to do some research about the company and see what kinds of specials they had this week. Well, after the other kids got home from school we went to Carlie C's. When I first walked in I was amazed that they sold local produce and their prices were awesome! As I continued shopping I couldn't help think why I should shop anywhere else and then I saw the meat department!! I was so elated to see a meat department that still cuts and grinds their meat in the store!! I have been so disappointed seeing all the other chain stores pulling away from this practice and it completely saddens me. For one, I have no idea where my meat comes from and two, I don't know the conditions of where my meat is being processed (grocery stores have regular inspections whereas I have no idea about the facility* that processes the meat from kill to packaging) and I cannot trust to feed it to my family. After shopping at this store it has my business! After I paid the cashier the bagger offered to take my groceries out to my car!! Can it get any better than this??
