Are putting money in the pockets of billionaires? If yes, then no, you’re not shopping local.

The dilemma is that small local businesses can’t compete in pricing and most people struggle financially. One exception is buying produce directly from your local farmer, which probably is cheaper and fresher.

You’re not wrong and many people cannot afford to chose anything but the cheapest option.
