Shop Local Tip #1: Start With One Item

An easy way to begin shopping local in Chicago is to choose just one item you purchase regularly and then buy it locally. Make a list of what you buy every month from a big-box store. It can be anything: food, clothing, household supplies or even a service like housekeeping or gardening. Pick one item you can easily find at a Chicago indie business and make the switch. Starting with one item is so easy that you’ll want to do more.
