Im doing some research for Economic Geography and I came across this image that shows how some of the top brands own most of the consumer brands and products! This is shocking!

No shopping!

Michael challenged me to a month of not going shopping. That seems almost impossible with my spending habits. Michael issued the challenge on June 20th. I have 10 more days to go. This is a difficult task since JcPenney is having Best Price July. Every week it seems there are more markdowns. I am making a list of items that I will for sure b purchasing if they are still there. With the engagement underway this no shopping bet has actually encouraged me to find ways to cut costs on the Big Day!!
