Small Shop Savings

Tomorrow’s edition of Scandinavia’s largest newspaper – Aftonbladet – will carry an interesting comparison that Charlotte and I contributed to. You’ll find our story in the travel section of the printed edition.

I just read (online) in that same paper that recent research provided by a Swedish scientist points out that in most cases, buying huge amounts of food, something that most families do once a week, is not so smart after all. According to the findings, a lot of the food bought is never eaten and actually ends up rotting away in the fridge drawers – along with any savings that may have been made through purchasing in bulk.

Well, that’s a relief. Since we are proud members of the small but enthusiastic non-automobile owning community here in Malmö, we rarely, if ever, have to deal with weekly visit to hypermarkets, super stores or mega malls.

Currently listening to Los Angeles based keyboardist and groove maestro Rodney Lee on his “The Satellite Orchestra” sessions. Funkadelic!
