Shopping Local - Helps Me How?

April 29th, 2011 at 12:56 am

Regarding my last post:

Q: What does it do for you to buy locally?

A: Supporting local business means keeping local people employed, sometimes people I know. They support the local economy by paying their mortgages, spending their money at places like where I work, etc, etc. Local businesses pay taxes and that keeps tax dollars in my town for services I can use (police/fire/parks etc.).

Anyone have other reasons?

My local independent stores for all groceries, produce & dairy, paper goods ans cleaning supplies are MUCH cheaper than the national chain stores, Target and/or Walmart
