    Maybe although I hit yes. Depends on if I go drinking tonight/eat out tomorrow or go shopping both of the grocery stores I frequent Albertson's and Winco are headquartered in Boise (Albertson's/Safeway is a slightly more expensive chain with slightly higher quality usually that has lots of locations Winco is unique to the pacific NW and it is super low budget employee owned company that I like to support they are cheaper than walmart and apparently walmart is afraid of them.)

    Nah, mainly because I'm not shopping for anything atm and I'm not near my home (still away for thanksgiving). I don't really have many small mom and pop style stores near me regardless.

    Most local businesses around here have been wiped out by big chain stores, the only small business place I frequent is a diner. Well I guess the dentist and my nurse practitioner.

    why do you need a special holiday to support your local businesses? that should be done regardless.

    Agreed. I do my best to buy all of my comics at local shops. there's two in particular that I support as much as I can. I only have one subscription through marvel. As for groceries I prefer to frequent the local butcher shops for my meat as I think the stuff at places like walmart is gross. Produce I try to get at local farmer's markets as much as I can (unfortunately living in Ohio the farmer's markets are only really open in the summer). Otherwise I shop at Kroger because they do their best to get produce as locally as possible.
