It's the shopping season again and you are invited to take a closer look at your beliefs and shopping habits.

The Brown Bag Green Book series sponsored by the Knox County
Public Library and the City of Knoxville continues at 12 p.m. on Wednesday, December 2, in the East Tennessee History Center Auditorium, 601 South Gay Street. Dr. Bill Shiell, Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church, will lead a discussion of Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture by Ellen Ruppel Shell.

"Cheap addresses our need for more stuff by challenging our assumptions about discounts," said Dr. Shiell. "The book says that just because something is on sale does not make it a good value. During the shopping season, this book asks
us to look beyond the sale price and examine how our purchases reflect our values."
