I know the feeling on rural areas. I am in the sticks as well, with not a whole lot to choose from (whally's world, oh boy) I have to drive about the same distance to get premium food as well.
So when I take my trip, go to pets supplies plus (only pet store with in 85 miles of me) I look like we are going to go through world war III and there will be a food shortage..... But this is what us country folks have to do. I get looks from other clients, but the store employees know me now and just help me with my carts...lol
