There's so many ways to migrate waste aside from pricing to sell, too. I like my local Sprouts supermarket though, I find items at 99 cents that were like 8 dollars before.

I heard a good solution is also producing smoothies and such from old and ugly fruits and veg.

    I thought Sprouts was a fictional supermarket in Pluribus before this.

    Huh.

    It's pretty nice. I like that it has bulk bins for some stuff, although it doesn't sell as much in bulk as it could. Unfortunately, the closest one to me is still quite a bit farther than several other supermarkets, so it's not often that I shop there.

    The one near me has dispensers to refill seasonings instead of constantly buying new jars when you run out. Its why i like the one here, but yeah its 25 minutes away and you'll pass 3 walmarts and 2 krogers on the way.
