Giving up supermarkets for Lent

Fishsoup, whose blog a heartbreaking work of staggering tiredness is one of our Wiblogs, has given up supermarket shopping for Lent.

Last night I had sardines on dry bread with manky beansprouts, this can’t go on.

Talking of supermarkets, there was a programme last week about the way that they are making a profit from Fairtrade products rather than passing on the extra we pay to the people who deserve it. See Exigency In Specie – How Fair is Fair Trade? for some analysis.

See also: my other supermarket-related posts. Although, come to think of it, a lot of them are unrelated to anything.

Update: Serena is taking action on the Fairtrade issue.
