Buy Local, Feel Good

Welcome!



                                               Original Magnet by Becky Arnott

Did you know that shifting your buying to locally-owned businesses can make many millions of dollars difference a year to the local economy?  For every $100 you spend at a national chain, the total economic impact is only $13, yet the same amount spent with local merchants is $45!

Greg and I try to spend locally as much as possible whether it's at restaurants, pet stores, health food stores, or whatever. 

Even when we travel out of town, we always look for the local restaurants, etc.  Besides, what's the use of traveling somewhere new or different if you're just going to visit the same ol' chains that are back home?

One of our favorite places is McCreary's Irish Pub & Eatery in Franklin, Tennessee.
