Blank

I don't shop at a certain Blankmart, a large corporation that offers goods at super low prices. I hear they treat their employees very poorly and I've read things about their practices that I don't agree with and so I feel morally obligated not to shop there. The same arguement always comes up: everything is priced so low, why wouldn't you shop there? For one, you get what you pay for. A $5 shirt will probably last 5 washes. The food they sell is crap, it's mainly processed food. The last time I shopped there was on February 2008 and that was because I was in a new town and didn't know where else to go and I was starving. I bought groceries. I drive home and grabbed some yogurt, that I had just purchased and it was 10 days expired!!! I was outraged! I vowed never to shop there. I understand some people have no choice because they live in a rural town and maybe that's the only retailer there. I don't know. There's always an exception to the rule but it still bothers me that so many people shop there. I mostly don't shop there though because I find it highly hypocritical of me if I did. I bought a $275 Robert Rodriguez top at Cusp in December (when I still shopped). If I really wanted to save money don't you think I would spend less money on material possessions and/or clothing?! Here's the thing I think that people's priorities aren't always on point. Some people go out and spend so much money on a night out, on clothes, shoes, cars or cigarettes and yet they want to save $2 on soap or a loaf of bread?! That makes no sense to me! People should learn to spend money on what matters: life's necessities. People should start worrying more about what they put in their bodies rather than what they wear on their feet!
