Shopping Local and the Holiday Gift Guide

Sponsored article

December 1, 2016

Neighbors,  we make a difference in our local economy, and even a few small purchases here and there help. 

Did you know when you shop local, 68 cents of every dollar you spend stays here through taxes, payroll & expenditures?  If you spend $1 in a national chain, only $43 is returned for every dollar you spend*.  When we shop online, nothing is returned to our community!  We encourage you to commit to spending a portion of your holiday budget shopping local and have created a Holiday Gift Guide to offer specific ideas and inspiration. 

You could even WIN your purchase!  When you shop any of these sponsors, tell them Macaroni Kid sent you.  Save your receipt and send an email to jenniferc@macaronikid.com with "I shopped local" in the subject line and tell us which store you shopped. On January 1 we will pick a winner via random.org and reimburse them for the purchase up to $100. Enter as many times as you like!

Thank you to our sponsors for joining the Holiday Gift Guide. Without our sponsors support, Macaroni Kid would not be possible!
