Okay, mobsters – here are this week’s two lucky (and randomly-selected) winners: Charly W (whose most recent local purchase was Vermont maple syrup from the Woodstock Farmers Market) and Megan C. Congrats!
Lovers of local, connoisseurs of craftsman, and followers of all things fun, get ready to do some serious browsing. Scoutmob is a lot of things (flash deals, events calendar, online flea market…) but through it all there’s a charming emphasis on local. This week they’re inviting two of you to spend $200 in their Shoppe, a curated collection of independent artisans and makers who often weave hometown pride into their work. There’s tons of cheery, clever, and skillful stuff to discover, and you can browse by category or even by city. You know, if you wanna see just what your neighbors are making these days.

- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two

The most recent local thing I purchased was a coffee chocolate chip snowstorm at our local custard shop. It’s called Jarling’s Custard Cup and it’s one of the oldest shops in the town. They’re only open from March to November and always full of people. It’s great!

My favorite local thing to enjoy is local seafood. I live in south Louisiana, and you can always go down to your local seafood shop and pick up fresh shrimp, crabs, crawfish, oysters and various filets of fish. They are so fresh, most of the time they were caught that same morning. Nothing beats fresh seafood :)
Thanks for the chance to win such an awesome prize!

The last thing that I purchased locally was a butt load of groceries from the farmer’s market down the road. Of course when I had to go to the local chain grocery store to pick up a few more things that the market didn’t carry, I spent triple the amount I had spent at my farmers market!
