"In an age of global markets and capitalism, it’s far too easy for small businesses to struggle and fail, even if they have superior products and services.

We have the power to change this, and Small Business Saturday encourages people everywhere to shop with small businesses for just one day, and to change the world a little bit."

We will be shopping locally on Saturday in the next town over which has quaint little shops. But of course we often shop there (and eat at locally owned restaurants), being we live here in the country! So this is nothing new for us!

I find it rather ironic that American Express Sponsors this "day" yet, most small businesses do not have AE as a credit card they take because AE charges way too much per transaction.

AMEX is accepted in most of the small businesses in my area. At least those I've been to. AMEX has a rebate offer for small business Saturday if you use your card at a business participating in their small business Saturday program. I think AMEX is accepted more widely than it used to be.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I can't think of one single thing I would buy in my town. Maybe a ticket out of town lol

Sounds great! I've got my book order list for our local book shop. I'll also get some gift certs from 2 local restaurants.

I will, and in fact, already have that day planned. Will be going to a cheese factory, a bakery outlet, a small craft shop and to an excellent coffee shop for hot chocolate and lunch. None are part of any national chain.

I have purchased, with the exception of 3 gifts, all my holiday decorations and gifts locally from small businesses. About 1year ago I began shopping at a grocery store that is family owned. There is a small mark up, but that is expected. This store has everything I need and I'll never go back to grocery shopping at walmart, meijer, etc. It feels good to give back to the community.
