RE: THIS is Why I Love Shopping Locally! Well, at least ONE Reason...
I live by the principle "Every dollar you spend is a vote for how you want your world to be." In the summer, I buy all the food I can from Farmers Markets and only buy what I am missing from grocery stores. I only buy from the big box stores if I cannot find it locally. I try and teach that to my daughters as well.
I try to vote as wisely as I can... sadly, it often seems like the presence of "mega chains" make it almost impossible for tiny homegrown businesses to stay alive... so our choices end up limited.
