Day 41-
Supporting local commerce during this pandemic-
For many reasons we all love the towns we live in. We frequent retail in our area because it's close and convenient. What if we no longer had those things available? It's so important, now more than ever that we support all of the them as much as we can. With many of us not working or having our work hours cut it can be difficult, but still possible and affordable. Many restaurants in the area are running specials to draw in business and many of them cost less than stopping at the grocery store for the ingredients to make a meal. Do your homework first and everyone will win.
I am proud to say that we have been supporting all of our local restaurants at least 5 out of 7 nights a week. Hopefully they will still be in business when all of this is over.....eat local, everyone of them are struggling right now.
Studies show that when you buy from an independent, locally owned business, rather than a nationally owned business, a significantly greater portion of your money is then used to make purchases from other local businesses, service providers, and farms — further strengthening the economic base of our whole community. During this pandemic it is more important than ever before. A down turn in the economy like this one can be devastating to a small restaurant or retail business.
Shopping small local restaurants and businesses has many perks, from personalized service to the one of a kind products only found at small retailers.
Until Tomorrow-Be Safe
