I have heard that near me the farms are 'gleaned' by entreprenuers who resell produce to the 99c store. I am ok with this but the report is that this produce used to be donated to the local food banks.
So while I do buy produce and a few other food items from the 99c store, I try to minimize it.
Also, the food in the refrigerator cases are largely REALLY unhealthy, processed meats and convenience things. With exception of eggs, baby carrots, etc.
So what did I do yesterday? I bought tortillas, ramen noodles, and fig cookies there (I confess!!!)
