Psst. You over there. Yeah you with your nose up against the screen trying to read this blog. Go get your glasses because I got a tip and a coupon code for you. Ah you're back. Let's get down to business. It's small business Saturday. Did you know that? Yeah Veganville is a blog but we're a small business too.There are lots of small businesses around who could use a boost too. You can find a lot of cool vegan and veg sellers online too. I'll point you in their direction in a moment.
Top ten reasons to support these vegan online sellers and vegan small businesses:
1. It's cold out and you can stay in and leave on your faux furry slippers, (true you might wear them to go shop in some box store), but they look nicer on you in your living room. You are not Britney Spears.
2. Vegans don't use pepper spray, because it f*cks up the environment, although we might throw some Himalayan rock salt at you.
3. You don't have to drive anywhere. (Environmental reason)
4. You can cook dinner and shop at the same time.
5. You can shop hundreds of stores in the time you browse three crummy shops in the stupid strip mall.
6. True story. I have a friend who works at Best Buy and there were three arrests in one line, one arrest was for soliciting prostitution! (True that might make you want to go to Best Buy right now, but think of the Bail money)
7. No fisticuffs. Nobody will elbow you online, unless of course you share your laptop with a partner who needs to check his FB right now.
8. You can check your social networking sites while shopping.
9. You'll be buying quality and creativity and supporting a hard working self employed business, hence boosting the economy.
10. I ran out of things to say, so if you're still sold on going to Best Buy, remember you can always be solicited online while you shop.

ReplyDeleteOkay, you have me convinced! Especially as I hate shopping in the first place... and it means going into town on a day off (I live out in the country)...and I'd rather support a veg business anyway!
