Before small businesses were more expensive in my area, thus we all went to Walmart and target etc…now they've “kept up with inflation” so much we are all starting to shop local and save quite a lot while supporting our neighbors.
Same for fast food. I went for domino's for one large cheese with cheesy bread it was roughly 40$. The local pizza joint will give me all that for 15$! Local pizza joint it is! Better quality too. Funny, in Australia they already lost 20% of profits increasing their prices.
I just wanted to share this in case yall haven't looked into local places or wanted something positive.
