Save local business

I stumbled upon the 3/50 Project back in March and made a note to mention it here. It's a really simple premise: encourage shoppers to stop by three local retailers throughout the month and spend $50. Local purchases help keep the local stores you appreciate in your community in business.


The 3/50 Project site notes that when local consumers patronize local businesses -- more money stays in the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. It's a simple premise and one that makes sense -- even more sense if you can save with discounted gift certificates purchased online (before you shop, have a service performed or eat out). Save and keep your local economy strong -- it doesn't get any better.
