Shop Local Tip #7: Think Local Before You Shop Before you buy something, first ask yourself: Can I find what I need right in my own backyard? When you shop, try to find where you can buy what you need closer to Boston. Don’t always assume that the local stores in your town won’t have what you need because they’re smaller. Bigger isn’t always better. Check with your local indie stores first before you head to the big chain store or start searching online.
