Default shop locally

I like to support the local businesses as much as possible. Here at home, my mortgage is at the local bank, my pharmacy is owned and operated by a couple who lives in town ( dad and kids are all pharmacists), Stop and Shop gets about 10 % of my business while the locally owned grocery store gets the other 90 %.
When in New Hampshire at the lake, I sure as heck am not going to a Walmart or Pizza Hut. I go to EM Heath in Center Harbor and Moulton Farms for groceries, dine at many of the great local restaurants, shop at Innisfree Book Store, Sandwich Creamery, Pats, Adornments, etc.
As far as where is my money going in general?.....well, lots this year for heating oil and snow removal, thats for sure.
