Let talk groceries and laundry

[starbucks2]

The meat in our Wellcome store is almost always labelled with its country of origin. Not sure if it is a new thing, but I find almost everything in the store (dry goods too) is labelled. I have really taken to checking everything now as was surprised to see my "big name" brand peanut butter is now made in China. Really pays to check the labels if it is something you are concerned about. There is a lot of Chinese meat in the supermarkets so it is not just something you need to think about in the wet markets. I should stress that this is a concern for our family but a lot of people have no issue with this. If I see meat that is not labelled then I avoid. It is probably HK (which I would be ok with) but could be China (which I am not ok with). I think a lot of people (me included) have been scarred by the melamine baby formula tainting in China recently which has made me make much more of an effort in choosing the products I give to my family.

that would be great to take the laundry out, but I just can't imagine hauling all my laundry out somwhere. I'll have to get used to line drying and buy a dehumidifier.

Depending on where you live, you might get the ability to drop off and pick up your laundry at the front desk. We have this in our apartment block so it's easy to get both bulky laundry and dry cleaning done.
