WHERE IS YOUR MONEY GOING?

Local Shop

Here at Unshackled our goal is to give you lots of information about how you and your local community benefit by using independent businesses, local craftsmen, local producers and co-operatives rather than using multinationals and large corporates.

Buy From Locally Owned Shops

Buy Local Produce

Use Independent Cafes & Coffee Shops

Avoid Foreign Websites

If you think about it, when you buy from a local business or supplier most of your money stays in your community, whereas if you buy from a multinational corporate your money goes into the pockets of the faceless shareholders of said company - most of which are just other corporates and/or in a far off land.

So why is it better for you to spend your money in this way? Well there are a number of reasons:

  • 1. Your community will be richer for it
  • 2. You'll know the people you are buying from
  • 3. People you buy from care about giving you a good product/service
  • 4. Your money will probably be spent again within your own community - some of it might even come back to you
