buy local
Support nearby businesses
Buy local is a movement and practice encouraging consumers to purchase goods and services from nearby businesses rather than chains or distant retailers.
The idea is that money spent locally circulates within the community, supporting neighbors and strengthening the regional economy.
We try to buy local whenever we can.
Often appears as an imperative on bumper stickers and storefronts.
