I don't know were reef life is located , but I think that's you have to support the small stores no mater what you buy! I firmly believe that if you don't, you will only end up with the wallmart.
I had a highschool teacher tell us that back in the early 60"s , so now that I gave away my age , here is what she said. If you start to buy off the big chain stores, that were just coming out at that time. You would save a few pennies on the dollar , but lose in the long run . From the fact that they would put the smaller stores out of business You would no longer have three stores in town that sold different brands of say bikes, or TV's or anything else. I know that the town I grew Up in had two shoe stores , one hobby shop , two record shops, two drug stores two small sporting good stores , and so on. There were meat markets, hardware. Needless to say it was a nice little town that everybody from the area come into shop!
The town to speak of is no longer there,you have wallmart!!!!! and no choice of what brand to buy. Her prediction came true......
