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.

There is a street food vendor who sells delicious bratwursts, with all the relish. He encourages you to put relish in your life if something is bothering you. I patronize it instead of the Subway store.

As a matter of fact, I did buy Samoas and then, as if I were ashamed of my love for Samoas, I threw in the Tagalogs. Kinda like when you throw in a bunch of produce when you’re buying Tampons.
