^YcUhcrc is little that is available in the large chains that you cannot buy in the
smaller, local stores. Why then do we rush blindly into the
unknown at a time when, of all times, we
should know and trust the shops we are familiar with and use all year round. Possibly it is because familiarity does
indeed breed contempt. All year through day in and day out - there they are, local shops serve our mundane daily needs with quiet yet caring efficiency, only to be ignored when Christmas rears its head upon
the far horizon. And yet if we only stopped to think and . . . .
look, most of us would probably be amazed at what is on offer locally at this time of

yC Local shops these days are sophisticated places. Many of them belong to buying co operatives or operate under the umbrella of large wholesale houses. They can often
: Y . offer the sorts of bargain prices the larger
chains can and they can certainly match them when it comes to quality. Even if some items do cost a few pence more are you really saving anything travel
ling further afield? Transport costs money whatever mode of travel you employ. Then there is the matter of wear and tear
on your own constitution such trips can impart. You have to contend with crowds, with unfamiliar shops, less than concerned assistants, bulky parcels, packages and bags to carry around for hours, and the constant, nagging fear you just may lose your purse or even have it stolen. And once you have completed your
expedition, you still have to get the goods back home, safe and intact. This alone can dictate the nature of the gifts and goods you
b None of this applies to local shopping expeditions. Parking is relative^ cheap sometimes free and easy to find. The shops will not be too crowded and you will be able to get help and advice from caring shop
assistants when you need it. You can be sure you will get value for
money and, if you arc honest, you will not be able to fault the selection. This Christmas do not prepare to do bat
tle - instead visit your local shops and took at what they have to olTer. You will prob bly be surprised and you will certainly be
