Thank you, @cecicastor! It's totally possible to have an over abundance of all things without needing to shop at stores to get them! And if we're not shopping at stores, we're not supporting multi-national conglomerates, taxation, packaging/pollution, oil-dependent distribution, or the global military industrial complex. For us it's a more satisfying choice, plus it encourages a higher degree of innovation & ingenuity as well as real consideration for wants vs. needs.
