Supporting local businesses

I keep hearing that it's good to support local businesses by buying local whenever possible.  I do think it's a good idea and am willing to do my part.  Take today, for instance.  I ordered my groceries on line and was scheduled to pick them up this morning, which I was happy to do.  However, Kroger's was not able to provide me with one item, Vitamin C.  So, since it was handy and I had my mask on, I decided to stop at Walgreens.  I was pretty sure they would have what I needed.  While I was there, after a friendly masked salesperson helped me find the Vitamin C, I walked down another aisle, just working my way toward the front of the store, and suddenly, there I was in the wine department.  And there on the shelf, exactly at my eye level, was a bottle of Moscato, my very favorite wine.  I know, not very sophisticated, but it's what I like.  Not only was it the wine I wanted, for my one glass a week habit, but it was from the Oliver winery and everyone knows that's an Indiana (therefore local) winery.  So there you go.  I bought the wine to do my civic duty.
