I’m making an effort to shop local this holiday season. Want to join me? Here are a few easy ways to get started:

Saturday, November 24, 2012, is Small Business Saturday. Not only will many small businesses offer sales to get you in the door, but if you enroll your eligible American Express card & spend $25+ at a qualifying small business on November 24, 2012, you’ll get a one-time $25 credit on your American Express statement. The deal excludes corporate & prepaid cards. I took advantage of this last year when I bought my daughter’s Christmas present at Eddie’s Trick Shop, and it worked as advertised. I’ll be enrolling my card again this year & shopping on Saturday.

And you can shop several local vendors at one spot on Black Friday & more. Check out these opportunities:
