Supporting Local Business Supports Local Families

I am big on supporting local businesses, because many times I find that it is those locals who offer services that actually help.  And it is those same local businesses who work together, support each other, and offer affordable services and products.  I enjoy shopping at the Thrifty Grocery store because they are the ONLY dent and bent type store in the Tallahassee area.  I have also found a quaint thrift store called Calico Cat Consignment where there are a great many pieces of art and home decor offered for reasonable prices.  It is these kind of businesses that we need to keep around.  Just the other day the Calico Cat was offering items at half price (unless marked FIRM).  I got myself 2 very cute jewelry holders for $1.50 each.  I also shop at Thrifty Grocery on a regular basis.  They always have some sort of sale on something.  Even though they only offer dry goods and household cleaning, it can help drastically reduce the amount you spend at your regular chain grocery store.  I encourage everyone to check these stores out, and share them with everyone you know.
