FEELING INDEPENDENT MINDED?
Shoppers who would rather avoid the big-box stores and national chains might consider the 3/50 Project. Founded by retail consultant and professional speaker Cinda Baxter, the project encourages you to spend $50 per month at three independently owned businesses you would miss if they disappeared.
According to the project's Web site, $68 of every $100 spent in such stores returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. That compares to $43 of every $100 spent at national chains.
Several local businesses are listed as supporters of the project.
