With Black Friday well on its way, be sure to save some of your money to
support local and small community-based businesses too on November 28th, Small
Business Saturday. While you may not always be getting the best deal, the dollars you spend at
mom-and-pop shops keeps money in your community. In fact, according to the American Independent
Business Alliance, 48
percent of the money spent on purchases at a local independent businesses is
re-circulated locally, but less than 14 percent of purchases at chain stores
stay within the community. So, keep this in mind as you spend. Have a
happy holiday weekend!
