Local First Arizona, good idea.

Support Local Tip #2: Question preconceived notions! Is big box always cheaper & more convenient? I find tons of killer deals in local shops, & local restaurants have more flexibility in offering daily specials than chains. W/ a higher likelihood of better quality goods & services & the fact that the $ you spend w/ locals recirculates in the AZ economy up to 3X MORE... suddenly "cheap & convenient" sounds pretty weak.
There are great deals to be found all over Downtown Mesa. Cucina Di Vita's coupon deals, Nunthaporn Thai's killer $7.00 lunches, Boutiques like Blossom and Contagious. Even free museum entrances on three for days, and free activities on the First and Second Friday of EVERY month.
