GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

TIENDA = “STORE” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽

NEGOCIO = “BUSINESS” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I have a post about spending money at local small businesses.

Today I bought a pencil sharpener from my local art supply shop called “Odd Nod”.

I understand seeking the best deal in order to get the biggest bang for your buck, I am a fan of this.

I also am a fan of supporting local business and sometimes when browsing the selection at a small business or a “Mom and Pop” you may have fewer items and sometimes slightly higher prices than a corporate “big box” store like Wally World.

Sometimes items are cheaper or unique items are on the shelves of small business.

I support being mindful with how you spend money and this includes cost and where the dollar goes as well.

When supporting local small business the dollar goes into your community. It supports the store that has an owner that probably lives in that community and keeps the dollar closer to home in a way that the more business that local shops have the potential for that community to thrive increases.

If I had to choose between getting the item I needed by purchasing it from a corporate store or not getting the item because I could not afford it elsewhere I would buy the item. If I have the ability to purchase an item from a small business that is available for less cost at a corporate business I MIGHT buy it from the mom and pop. If the item is available at both the local shop and corporate store at the SAME price I would choose the local shop.

So when it comes to a deal, whatever is best will be my choice. However if it is the same price I will choose local.

I also will sometimes make a social media post including the local store of my purchase to support in an additional way.

Shop smart, shop local.
