Shop Local This Christmas and Support Onslow County North Carolina (Hubert, Swansboro, Jacksonville)

I think most people are in the same boat. It's the Christmas season when we exchange gifts with family, friends and clients.

Money is tight for everyone. The price of gas, food, heating fuel and pretty much everything has risen. What is one to do? The answer for most of us is.... look for the best price and value.

What I am suggesting to you is that what appears to be the best price and value may not be. Sure it is convenient to shop on-line or in the big box stores where you can find any and everything under the sun.

But have you thought about where the money goes when you shop on-line or in the big box stores? I can tell you that most of that money is sent out of your town, state and often the country.

I can almost hear what you are thinking "but I can buy that t.v so much cheaper at Wallyworld than the local t.v shop". Really? Do you know that for a fact?

Why not talk to the local business and tell them you want to buy locally and support your local businesses and ask if they are willing and able to meet the price of the item? My bet is they will, they want and need your business.

Would it not be better to support and patronize you local business that

• Pays local taxes that supports your schools, police and fire departments, etc.
  
  
• Hires local employees, contractors and vendors
  
  
• Invests in real estate in the area
  
  
• Banks with local banks
  

• Keeps the money circulating in your town/community

Who do you think is going to be more likely to honor warranties, provide personal service and have an interest in problems you might have with your purchases?

I challenge you to shop with your local businesses, use local contractors and service providers. They are your neighbors and friends and the money stays in your area. That is important.

Put your trust and money in local businesses where it will best serve you and your community.
