Gardening on the side, and a customer tried to haggle over my tomato prices

I sell extra veggies from my home garden and had a lady argue my heirloom tomatoes were too expensive. On one hand, I want to stand firm on my prices because they reflect my time and care. On the other hand, part of me thinks a small discount to make a difficult person go away is sometimes worth the peace. Where do you all draw the line with pricing for picky customers?

Biodegradable comic bags turned into goo on a hot day.

My mint condition comics are now sun-kissed and sticky.

Protein needs vs. factory farm feelings...

On one side, I gotta hit my protein for muscle repair. On the other, knowing how the meat is produced bugs me... Where do you stand on this?

Reflecting on my shift towards seasonal vegan stews

A few years back, I committed to crafting a vegan stew every Sunday using whatever produce was freshest. This routine has not only reduced food waste but also connected me more intimately with the cycles of nature in my cooking. Do others here feel that aligning meals with the seasons has enriched their vegan experience?

Noticed a trend where cashiers comment on my massive Sunday grocery hauls

It's like they're subtly judging my life choices through my produce selection... One even recommended a better brand of lentils last week, prompting a reflection on these mundane exchanges.
