Sat 7/3 – Sat 7/10
It’s time to buy local! Support our local economy, embrace what makes our city different, preserve entrepreneurship and foster local job creation… all by buying goods from locally-owned shops. During Buy Local Week, COSE and I Buy NEO are asking people to make a pledge to redirect $100 of existing spending to locally owned and operated biz. Instead of eating at a chain restaurant, eat at a local bistro. Buy from a farmers market instead of going to the grocery store. According to I Buy NEO, if everyone in NEO pledged to redirect $100, we would pump $48 million into the local economy. Let’s do it!

The I Buy NEO program is a great idea. Too bad they are not enrolling any more local businesses in the directory.

Not to mention the benefit to the environment from buying locally!
