Local is the new black!
Black Friday is upon us, and I have to confess I’ve had Amazon on constant refresh as much as the next girl, finding new ways to bag a bargain / waste my money on impulse buys...
It got me thinking: while the big boys can slash their prices by up to 90% without batting an eyelid, it’s not so easy for us small, local or creative businesses.
So I’ve set myself a challenge and I hope you’ll join me! This year I’m saying bollocks to Black Friday and am pledging to shop local as much as I can over the long weekend.
I thought I would share some of my favourite local and small businesses that I will be supporting between now and Christmas! Why not check them out? And I would love to hear all about your favourite independent business in the comments below!
