>We're probably still a quite non-consumer family. We don't believe in shopping as therapy. We may be buying a lot of what everyone else buys, but not so often. And then there are a few items that we never buy, like sugar water, fake cheese, ready fried chicken, pink shoes, bulky armchairs, triple and quad razor blades, lite beer, fake worn-out clothes, big TVs, any content by Hollywood and/or Disney, any books on how to get rich, any barbecue starter fluid (it stinks - how can anyone eat after that is beyond me), salted butter, cake mixes, anything spectator sport related, bumper stickers, and of course, there's no way I'll ever buy an SUV, truck or any other personal tank.

It seem your family peace with nature. But I have some questions:

-Why don't you sugar water (We don't buy too because of it beginned to sell there newly and we don't know why we should use sugar water. hehehe...)?..
-fake cheese? Do you mean processed cheese? If you mean that I don't like too, but my daughter like these terrible things...
-Is pink shoes an american say or you mean just pink shoes?


I saw fivefold razor blades recently (Wilkinson really 5, and gilette 4+1)... :))

Congrats for your SUV says, a friend of mine bought a car which has a big engine after just immigrated Canada. I know these cars are so selfish cars however I'm not sure what I do if I would live in Canada or USA... :)
