Purchasing Choices
I recently started a new job (yay! after looking for 5 months). I’m working full time now instead of half time, so we will have more money.
We decided from now on to change our purchasing choices since they are not constrained by cost any longer.
We will chose to buy our food using the following preference cascade, based on availability, not price:
- Local Organic
- Local
- Fair trade
- Organic
When we are looking at obtaining non-food items, we will use the following to guide us:
- Can we borrow it from someone else?
- Can we rent it for the time we need it?
- Can we find it used some where?
- Can we find a well made new item? If so, is it produced in a sustainable way that does not exploit workers?
