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.

MOB ME! My 20th birthday is this Wednesday, and this year I decided I wanted something a little different than the usual chocolate cake. So I hit up a local bakery that’s gotten great reviews, and ordered a traditional cheesecake to celebrate the ending of my teen years. Here’s to hoping it turns out to be delicious! :)
Ram p says

I just bought a new bathing suit at a local store! Yeaaaaa spring (it’s almost here at the beach!)
There are lots of spring breakers in town too!
To be truthful though, I don’t hit the ocean till at least May, it’s too cold for me now but I love hanging out on the beach and getting some much needed sun after a long winter!

I live in a suburb right outside of Philadelphia (about a 10 minute car ride) and just recently took the Philly cheesesteak challenge. That is goin to both Pats and Genos on the same night and sampling them both. I recommend this challenge for everyone at least once in their lifetime!

Girl scout cookies was the last thing I bought myself locally. But after checking out this site that might change.
Janey says
MOB ME!
My most recent local purchase was veggies at the farmer’s market. And of course Girl Scout cookies, but not just one or two boxes…that’s for amateurs. :-) Try six boxes of Thin Mints in our freezer (stocking up for winter!) and both Samoas and Caramel DeLites, since we live on a border between the two types of cookies.
thu says
Mob Me! Thrift store junk!
Rachael says
