I came across GARLIC imported from China, at the Milk Pail. amazing. I love the Milk Pail and shop there a fair bit, but I always check the boxes (and, in the case of that garlic, the packaging). you can get prices down really low if, like the Chinese, you grow your garlic in toxic waste. Yes, I trust TJs, and wasn't complaining re the store in re the tofu price; I'm sure they were just passing on their increased soy costs. It was more a matter of wondering what was up and what other prices might go up; a general seeking of economic symptoms. the thing to buy at Walmart (unless you're independently wealthy) is supplements. Consumer Lab always rates Spring Valley (the walmart brand of stuff like fish oil, grape seed extract, etc), as being both free of contamination and as containing what it claims to contain. being able to squeeze your suppliers is not all bad. also they sell organic t-shirts and underwear.

I do trust TJ. I am not so sure about that Wal-Mart place though. I will pay $1.49/pkg for tofu in TJ’s because they do not sell food imported from china. I do trust TJ.

Smiling Cat, didn't you say that you once lived in Colorado Springs? there's a long description on Mish re how the city is slashing services (they are asking that residents mow public green areas near their homes, since the city won't get out there very often(!)). and also a description of a really squalid park.
