I buy stuff locally, even when its easier or cheaper online, because if I dont, there wont be a local merchant to buy from one day. Id rather keep those dollars in town, & I try to spend my $$$ with locally owned & operated places. Theres a hardware store I like, not a Lowes or H/Depot, but a locally owned place. You cant get IN that place & make 20 feet before someone is asking how they can help.. a bit mo spendy, but Ill pay a premium to keep jobs & $$$$ in the community. The Big $$$ leaves to go to the owners of Lowes. of course, the employees checks stay in town, paying rent, buying gas & burgers, etc, so, I still appreciate the big box guyys, I just like the Indy owned more.
