How often do you support small local businesses?

Not as often as I would like. I buy my dog food from a small local business in the next town over, but everything else is pretty much big box stores. For groceries, I mainly shop Sam's and Walmart and my local IGA for meats. Fast food restaurants and pizza joints when I eat out.

I do! We just went to the honey place the other day and they are local. I also do a lot of boutiques during the year and the Vintage Marketplace is lots of small businesses.

We try to support our local shops and the farmer's markets.

not very often but I'm not much of a shopper. I do groceries locally

As much as I can. Main groceries are from Walmart and Price Chopper. We do go to the small store/restaurant in our town to fill up with gas and eat out. I go to the thrift stores and the local restaurants in our nearby towns. The nearest city with a mall is over an hour away and I might go there if I am traveling through to go somewhere else

We try to use local businesses as much as possible. We do get groceries from Walmart and Aldi's but now that I think of it, we don't have any local grocers around here.
