My final Shop Local post! A few days late. The weekend sort of got away from me, and then I spent last evening with Ed at a concert (The Decemberists!)
So, what have I learned from these posts? Most of my local purchases involve food. This could be due to the fact that my little town seems to have a lot more local restaurants and such than it does traditional retail businesses. I also really, really like food. What else? We definitely spend more than $50 per month at local businesses (check out the 3/50 Project to see what I'm talking about). In the future, I hope to make even more purchases at local businesses. Maybe even some that are not food related!
Broken Rocks Cafe - picked up takeout for lunch one day. They've had some great summer specials lately!
The Faithful Little Cupcake - I like this business. I want to see them stick around. If my small cupcake addiction helps them out, then so be it.
Gallery in the Vault - A neat art and gift store located in a former bank. Admittedly, I didn't buy anything on this visit, but I did see a couple of things that would make a great gift for my mom's birthday next month. I plan to return.
Scales to Tails Seafood Shoppe - our local fish store. I'd like to incorporate more fish into our diets, so I will probably be stopping here at least once a week.
