Shopping Frank-

Naomi and I live in a small town Royal Oak Michigan-both of us have time and every day we go out at least for coffee-If i don't take a laptop we usually got to McDonalds and since we both have Kindles we sit and read-the place is usually busy with kids as well as retired folks !  They still serve one of the best cups of coffee anywhere and they have three chocolate chip cookies for a

dollar-and the product is good-fast food in known for serving a percentage but McDonalds  is cost conscious and always maintains a quality level above other food outlets-we get our local television from Detroit Stations and I have been watching the National Advertisments diminish and being replaced with infomercials-all the newpapers in Michigan have cut down delivery days and are losing readership- I don't really care since we both get our news Online and there are Online Magazines Like Zimbio which have ton's of content-The other Local coffee shops and most restuarants are as dead as Custer-We buy the a lot of food items at small middle eastern and oriental grocery stores where expecially vegetables are always fresh and priced right-Chicken and Meat in Middle Eastern Grocery stores is dressed according to dietary laws and they all sell Amish Chicken the best available.If we want deserts we buy the at a middle eastern bakery  that  ships world wide-http://www.shatila.com/

and is a short drive-One of the few stores alway busy is Trader Joes they are marketing a brand of wine Charles Shaw and I see people buying it in cases, we have bought it is a  good brand-and they seem to sell a lot of well processed frozen items-I have noticed a lot of Trendy Brands are being replaced with private label- Wallmart are experts at quality control in store brand foods-and sell more television sets than any store we buy at-I noticed they had great pricing on a Netbook-  I have A G-4 and a Macbook but will be buying a netbooks soon Walmart only has one brand and I am leaning toward's the Asus so I will probably get it from Amazon-Mr Eliason's shopping trips are a great read-
