Small Business Saturday

[StoryDreamer]

Just a reminder that Small Business Saturday is this weekend! Support your local Main Street business. I myself am going to a local paper store for holiday cards and I always buy my parents local-made food for Christmas.

Support Main Street!

I always try to buy from indie or small bussiness stores to support them! I find it more fun to shop and this way you support them and you have always unique gifts!

This is great!

My dad has his own business so I always try to go out and support other Indie/small business over the big ones as much as possible. I love eating at mom and pop joints much more than Applelybees. Plus the relationships you develop with the waiters/waitresses can be full of great inside jokes like unicorn poop.

Not sure what our plans are for tomorrow but if shopping is among them I'll be sure to do that!

Wow! I didn't know about this. I'll have to drop buy some of the smaller stores in Houston. I'm all for supporting small business.

It makes me so sad that they need a day for this.
The vicious cycle ... In my German hometown almost all small stores have closed down or are going to do so, bakeries, butcher's (not that I needed that one, lol), greengrocer's, ... instead we have the infamous big chains that I detest (Real, Globus), but because many people need to see how they can save money, they prefer to go to the "cheap" ones.

A friend of mine just opened her own business online a month or so ago.  She knits scarves, hats, makes little crochet critters, etc.  She has made me custom scarves for my mom, sister, dad, and is working on one for my grandma.  And I'm buying one for myself.    As long as I'm spending the money, I'd rather hand it to a friend than to a store.

Always a good cause to support 365 days a year!
