Monday

£72 a week

The Barnes High Street is being taken over by estate agents and I HATE IT. Last year so many cute, independent shops closed and boring lame estate agent shops replaced them. In an effort to better support our local businesses, the mister and I have been making a real effort to spend more money in Barnes - £72 a week to be precise. A local economist has worked up the magic number of £36 per person per week to help support our local community. It's really nice to have a number to work to and I always feel so pleased when we exceed it, which isn't hard.

We're mostly supporting the local restaurants, cafes and food shops. We were thrilled when the Ginger Pig opened in Barnes earlier in the year, right by the fruit and veg store, making weekly shops that much easier.
