Sometimes I think that so many people get caught up in the time saving features of using the Internet for their shopping, that they overlook the importance of supporting local businesses.  It is surprising to find out that many local people don’t even know what local restaurants and businesses there are in their towns!  Even though I do buy a lot of things over the Internet, I also try to support the local economy as much as possible.

That’s why I appreciate the local.com website.  It acts like a local yellowpages.  With just a few keystrokes and clicks I can do a local search to help me find what I need using the local stores and businesses.  After all, if we don’t support the local businesses, no one will have a job and we’ll all starve to death!  The job you save may be your own!  So if I can buy something close to home, I will make the effort to do so.

It’s been a very long time since I’ve eaten “Fiddle Faddle.” Today on a spur of the moment urge I decided to buy a box. It was on sale for 50% off at the store I was in and I was in the mood for some junk food. So I bought a box and opened it up. Tasted like Cracker Jacks, but there wasn’t any prize! Just as well, those little prizes never were worth a darn anyway! Anyway, I had forgotten how good it was! I’m afraid to look at the nutritional information – probably a heart attack waiting to happen!
