I could shop at Aldi, Sav-a-Lot, or a couple of pretty skeezy

concern.  I won't shop at Walmart.

If I happen to go to WalMart for something I may consider picking up a bottle of ketchup or peanut butter if I needed it.  Won't touch there meats and produce.

 Basement.  The builder of this house went to a lot of trouble
in 1947 to dig a basement.  It was so much trouble, he put
a crawlspace under the living and dining rooms.  But the
three bedrooms, bathroom, and kitchen are over a basement.
 My previous house had no basement.  That was an absolute
must-have when I bought this house.
 

I don't miss it.  My last house was a raised ranch, two levels.  While not below ground, the bottom level had about a third of the area for heating system, oil tank, laundry, storage space, typical basement type stuff.
I do have a two car garage.  Like most houses here with them, one car fits comfortably with the other "stuff" in there.  Water table too high here to dig an 8 ft deep hole.
