Think locally, shop online-ally
Sunday, December 27, 2009
Just because I do my shopping online doesn't mean I'm not supporting my local businesses. Most of them have Web pages. They'll gift wrap any present and mail it for me. I don't have to drive around looking for a non-existent parking spot, I don't have to elbow my way through crowds, I don't have to wait in line at the cashier, I don't have to wait at the wrapping desk. It also cuts down on my impulse buying. Not that I've made an impulse buy since the beginning of the Great Recession.
