• Saving fuel and car parking charges. Reducing pollution, less traffic thus improving the  environment.
 
• You may get a better deal - For instance local bakers, greengrocers, butchers could reward regular custom.
 
• Good advice; butchers could advise on how to cook certain cuts of meat and what size joint you might need for a family get together.

• Shopping at your local butchers cuts down on food miles and stress on the animals, therefore better quality meat. Plus traceability from farm to fork which is very important. Also support for local farmers.
 
• Shopping at local bakers, greengrocers and farm shops - the food is likely to contain more nutrients and have less packaging.
 
• Thriving independent businesses on the high street boost the prices of nearby homes.
 
• Helps to build the local community. Craft shops, cafés, bookshops host events from knitting clubs, children’s events, reading groups etc.
 
• Local independent shops often stock items which are made locally and not available elsewhere so the chance of getting a one-off gift is a major plus.
 
• Local Artisan markets help promote the talents of the next generation of designers and retailers with a constant turnover of new products, and sellers listen to customers’ demands.
 
• Shopping local creates local jobs.
 
• Helps to build a good relationship with your shopkeeper which is more personal.
 
• Local businesses are more likely to use your own business if you use theirs.
 
• Try before you buy, for example independent off licences may have wine tasting events, bakeries, delicatessens, and farm shops have samples of food to try.
 
• Many local businesses support local charities therefore shopping local you are helping to increase donations.
