Are you a conscious shopper? I think the fair trade conscept is a very good thing. I will choose those products before regular products whenever I have the chance. It is only a pity that we do not have a larger variety to choose from. I think more people would choose fair trade goods if given a better oportunity. Like in England. Do you have a large variety of fair trade products where you live?

I always look for fair trade products. Yes, I do consider myself conscious shopper...also... I buy only products not tested on animals... My favorite grocery store has only fair traded products.

A store with only fair trade products sounds really great! I wish we had a more products to choose from where we live too.

My partner and I both tend to look for Fair Trade products when we can afford to do so. Unfortunately they are not always the most economic products and at the moment we have to consider living as cheaply as we can. We have often bought Fair Trade tea and coffee and other products like chocolate too.

yeah, we have had that problem for a while too - some of the products cost very much more than the ordinary products. Luckily the difference is not as big on some items here - like flowers, and coffee.
