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.
- PRIZE: A $200 gift card to Scoutmob’s Shoppe
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MOB ME” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what’s something you’ve purchased locally lately that you love? Did you chow down on an awesome cupcake at a bakery down the street? Did you pick up some cool art at a recent craft fair? Or maybe you supported your local Girl Scouts by picking up a box of Samoas… or two…
- 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.

MOB ME! I don’t have any one thing that I’ve purchased that I love but I do try to make sure to support my local small businesses. I shop the small stores in our little downtown for gifts, baked goods, household items and the like, rather than shop our city’s big box stores. I “love” knowing that I’m supporting our local artisans.

I am not sure if Philadelphia invented tomato pie but they have definitley perfected it…we bought some this weekend. It is similar to a pizza but it is served room temperature with a thicker crust and tomato sauce but no cheese. YUM!
Natalie says

I recently found another original house sketch to add to my collection that I plan to hang on the wall.. once we repaint the living room. For now, they are sitting in a pile on the floor.
Susan says
Brought a juicy fat burger at my local downtown Greenville sc place called Marks Grill. Yummy yummy yummy in my tummy. Nothing like having a big juicy burger with a homemade chocolate chili bacon shake. I’m salivating just thinking about it! Not only are the burgers great but its also a bar and they save their empty liquor bottles for me to turn into bird feeders and other artistic goodies I make. Local helping locals it’s a win win!
