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

There is NOTHING like fresh italian bread from our local bakery. I’d guess hundreds of people fly out of the area on a regular basis with packed loaves for those who have moved away!
Joanne says
MOB ME!
Gourmet gouda from the nearby cheese boutique!
corinne a. says
MOB ME!…some enterprising locals packed their creepy van with Girl Scout cookies and set up a drive thru in an empty parking lot. There’s something beautiful about not having to burn any calories to buy fattening treats.

In Denver, a local Asian supermarket, Little Saigon, sells “Madeleines” that are delicious for breakfast with espresso coffee every morning. Starbucks has them too expensive. Little Saigon, instead sells about six madeleines for about $1.99.
Charity says

My hubby recently enjoyed a cupcake from a local cupcakery! I have been abstaining from sweets lately so he enjoyed it without me :-( And if our local thrift store counts then I am as local as it gets!

Locally for me, an event called LaughFest is currently happening in Grand Rapids. LaughFest is a comedy show event that lasts almost 2 weeks and all proceeds go to benefit Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids, a free grief/cancer support service for children and adults (Gilda Radner, a comedian and Gene Wilder’s wife, started Gilda’s Club…hence the comedic LaughFest event!). Lots of big name artists (Wayne Brady, Bill Cosby, etc.) come in AS WELL AS LOCAL COMEDIANS! Last night, my husband and I enjoyed a local show of area college improv teams and it was awesome! Plus, laughter really is the best medicine and can help us heal so much!
