In my experience nothing is as straightforward as people would have you believe. Look at all the post Christmas advertising - all those special deals on stuff that you absolutely can't live without! I have just been listening to someone here in Christchurch talking about conducting your life only accessing locally grown, made, or provided goods - with the exception of coffee, beer, and wine - although they are all brewed, roasted, or fermented here if you look around, and what reasonable human being can go without coffee? His own vege patch keeps his family of 4 in veges until May - imagine that! Pay a visit to their site http://www.holisticlocal.co.nz, I think this is a good way to go - now all I need is a better ability to dig in my overgrown garden with my dodgy hip - know anyone who would like to share my vegepatch in exchange for digging?
