[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why just one day? We should be supporting small businesses in a regular basis.[/quote]

THANK YOU!

It's ALWAYS a good idea to shop small.

Buy from local or small/medium sized businesses.  They sometimes cost more but the proliferation of storage units across the country suggest that we should spend more for higher quality goods rather than "save" money and accumulate massive loads of junk. If you really want to lessen the power of corporations, change your habits.

Spending more than you have to in order to acquire a needed product or service is economically inefficient and is self-injurious in the long run.  You may feel virtuous, but your retirement savings will be less, and your lifestyle lower than it otherwise could be.  By all means do that if the psychic benefits outweigh the lifestyle and financial security drawbacks you'll experience.  for most rational consumers, the choice is always to maximize their return on investment, not to minimize it.

Spoken like someone who has never heard of the Walmart effect. Do some reading then come on back and we can talk like informed citizens. [/quote]
