Hunters-gatherers...

Things have changed since men roamed the plains chasing their potential evening meal. Once we were hunters but not anymore. Collecting the ingredients for a meal nowadays involves no more than stopping at a supermarket and loading whatever is desired into a shopping trolley. 
 
We are a bit spoiled for choice I think. With the abundance of items to choose from, 'selection stress' has become a common disease among shoppers. What's worse, it cannot be cured by applying a large dose of 'retail therapy'. To the regret of many female shoppers. Not all is lost however.

There is an easy way to avoid the discomfort of 'filled to the brim' supermarkets and get back in touch with nature at the same time. The allotment is the ultimate answer to stressed out modern shoppers. Acquire an allotment and grow your own produce. Not only does it give an utter feeling of fulfillment, it is also stress reducing. There you have it.


 It is fair to say that not all things needed in life can be homegrown though. Shoes for one don't grow on trees. How convenient that would have been, miss P. would have said. Not to worry as what we have here is an excellent opportunity to get in touch with the way our ancestors used to live as 'hunters-gatherers'. Bargain hunting is considered the modern version of chasing mammoths and the like. The objective being to find the best deal possible. Modern shoppers seem to love it as they come in droves to wherever a sale is going on. Shopping thus becomes a game and as we know, games do provide a lot of pleasure. Stress no more ...
