This month, a local mum from Wandsworth is attempting a 12-week challenge to ditch all chain stores and supermarkets, only shopping small and supporting independent businesses.
The first week's blog can be viewed here: snip.ly/xb4ox
This week features Balham and visits to Mick at the Fruit & Veg stall on Hildreth Street, the Blackbird Bakery and the Healthchem Pharmacy.
Please, let us know if you have any suggestions on good local alternatives to the big supermarkets and chains stores.
