Support local when shopping

Ideally, we should support those businesses that will take our dollars and put them back in our community -we all seem to understand that. But we don't always do it. It's not always easy to do. But 70% of the dollar you spend in a local business will go back into your community. Buy from a chain, and that number is much less.
