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
- PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond specific areas (more on that here). This giveaway is open to the United States.

Justine says
MOB ME!
I’ve gotten to the picky-picky-poor point where I only eat at the same three restaurants when I eat out, meaning I don’t eat out a lot, and all of them are locally owned and family run! pizza, thai, and gyros. I’m trying to buy a house so I almost feel guilty nowadays spending money on anything that isn’t delicious food…

I recently purchased my first (used) dealership vehicle. Going form a 1993 to a 2011 meant going from the only powered item being power steering to having power windows, locks, mirrors, key fob, etc. It’s a little crazy.
