According to the 3/50 Project, for every $100 spent in independently owned stores, $68 returns to the community, spent in a national chain, only $43 stays here, and if you spend it online, nothing comes home. To tempt you to shop local this Black Friday, I've compiled a list of DEALS at some of my favorite shops on the Shoreline, many of which are only available to e-list readers.

Forward, facebook and tweet this email to your friends and family (by clicking the icons on the top right of this page) so they can take advantage of these great deals, too. Happy local shopping!
