As a small business owner, I notice that many people want to support local shops, but price and convenience often pull them toward big chains or online stores. I understand both sides. Local shopping keeps neighbourhoods alive, but families also have budgets. When do you choose to shop local, and when do you choose the cheaper or faster option?

I try to shop local for bread, pastries, and special foods because freshness matters and I know the owners. But for cleaning supplies or basic household items, I often compare prices. Loyalty is good, but it has to be realistic.
