All of the above. It’s Saturday, for Gawd’s sake.
Will probably fuel up on Velveeta scrambled cheese eggs, a Bay’s Original English muffin, buttered, a couple of rashers of center cut, double-smoked Kroger Private Selection bacon with a drizzle of Shelburne Farms Pure Vermont Maple Syrup in a separate bacon-dipping bowl (so as not to contaminate the eggs and muffin, obvs) before heading out on my daily small business adventure.
A local yarn store. Though I just bought yarn there very recently, so I’ll probably just knit or crochet and chat for a bit. Hopefully won’t end up with more yarn because I can’t really afford it.
@Catburd To be clear, I almost never buy anything.
We’re not big on gifts in the family, we love spending time together. Occasionally you get someone else something meaningful, or occasionally we pool resources to do something special for someone specific who seems to need it this year. Otherwise the usual gifts are reserved for when a specific item seems like it would be particularly meaningful.
But I do like to browse small businesses today at least in case I find something meaningful.
Our road out of the hills was too snowy for me to want to drive it, (yes, my truck can handle it, but I am not feeling up to handling the truck.) So I did some shopping on Etsy. I do enjoy shopping while comfy in bed with my electric blanket and my kitties.
Any place I can get my small business taken care of.
@yakkoTDI Don’t be like that, your business is good sized, I’m sure.
Going to a local coffee company that also has a gift store full of local items. Pretty neat
A local thrift store. It’s an extra 20% off on Saturdays!
Wherever “Elmo” tells me to on “X”.
Thank god he doesn’t own an auto company or something significant.
My father’s business, even though I don’t need any reprographics needs at the moment.
Same as Black Friday, not going anywhere.
Local Guitar store, it’s only a couple years older than me and they’re fantastic!
Local d̶r̶u̶g̶ ̶d̶e̶a̶l̶e̶r̶ Artesian pharmocolgical specialist
@sicc574 Drugs that naturally flow from from a hole in the ground? (Don’t let Nestlé find out.)
@sicc574 @werehatrack By hole do you mean pile of natural fertilizer?
Meh, of course. They are local to North Texas.
The bar down the street is a local business. (Kidding, I don’t drink at bars - but they do make a mean burger topped with deep-fried jalapeños!)

I generally confine my small business to the bathroom.
@phendrick Should I ask where the large business is done? No, I shouldn’t.
@hchavers It’s OK. I take my big business to the woods. The bears have vacated, now apparently they are indoors.
Do I have to go anywhere?
Can’t I just stay home and avoid people like I usually do?
@xobzoo its your business and nobody else’s
Farmers Market
No where, I’ve spent enough money the last 11 months.
I’ll be going to my local gift/tchotchke shops.
A local yarn store. Though I just bought yarn there very recently, so I’ll probably just knit or crochet and chat for a bit. Hopefully won’t end up with more yarn because I can’t really afford it.
My family does Thanksgiving leftovers dinner on Sunday. I always bring a burnt almond torte from my neighborhood bakery.
@Nate311 burnt almond torte is a thing? I had know idea i was a baker
@Nate311 @ybmuG By that standard my mom is a baker too.
The grocery store and staying home.
A local coffee roaster. Then I’ll be wired enough to do some big business.
A local tree farm to get a Christmas tree.
Shop online at the small businesses owned by friends and family.
I don’t leave the house from the 22nd until the 27th as a general rule.

Local libraries and municipal museums.
My local bar is a local business. I’m spending the evening there.
