Shop locally

Remember what happened. You used to shop at Pearson's. Then it became Patel's. The range of stock grew along with the opening hours. Sadly, as did the prices. You were always a good fifteen minutes in the shop hearing about Sanjit's latest promotion idea or Gheeta's culinary experiments. You even got to try her bhajis. Then you started driving to the new SupaCentre. The one everyone was using, with the big car park. And the queues.

And then someone told you Patel's had closed. For good.

Keep loyal to your local.

They're a part of your community and by the time you really get to appreciate them they may have already gone.
