local shopping
Buying things close
Local shopping is buying goods and services from nearby businesses rather than chains, online retailers, or distant sources.
The phrase often carries connotations of community support and economic localism: We try to do our local shopping at the farmers market.
It can also simply mean shopping done close to home for convenience rather than ideology.
