It _is_ more expensive, but lasts for 2 minutes, and you do not feel like a Zombie like in the hypers.

We hope that you will experience the joy of Christmas and be blessed in the process. About the big stores, the supermarkets here replaced the mom and pop stores long ago. Dierbergs and Schnucks even disposed of Krogers in STL. Walgreens has replaced the small pharmacy where we used to sit on a stool and get a soda while we waited to get the medications. In America, people are trying to make Walmart and related stores "bad", but it's Capitalism at work, in my opinion. It would be nice to "go back" for awhile. I recall enjoying the beautiful villages in Europe, the little shops and all that goes with that. Yes, it is good to stop, or at least slow down for awhile and enjoy. But I wonder if I would want to go back permanently. Kinda like the ease of shopping at Walmart and Walgreen's and Dierbergs... May God be with you as you enjoy your family and friends. Keep up the great work - just think, even while we celebrating Christmas, there will be people who go to your websites and as result, their lives are changed forever because of their decision to follow Christ!!! What a concept! Merry Christmas !!!

Many people here in Budapest or Budaörs go to the small stores because it takes too long on a bus to get to the big stores. Also, they can only carry so much with them on the bus. This is true in New York City as well where there are plenty of small businesses because getting to the big ones is difficult. I guess the SuperStores don't have as big of an affect on life in a Metropolis. I was thinking that small businesses can thrive longer where there isn’t access to easy transportation (cars).
