The
IPayLess Local
Savings
sections are locally focused directories designed
to showcase & highlight the local
business details of retailers and service
providers who are able to offer products along
with savings to people in a particular
local area of the UK
Because
we believe that competition in both local
retail and service provision has a vital
role to play in keeping the overall cost of
rural living down.
This
section will
offer you the opportunity to pay less for
locally produced products and services as
well as helping to stem the flow of local
people leaving a particular rural area in
order to find employment.
For
example it is not generally realised that
when groceries are ordered online they are
actually packed and delivered by people
employed in a store nearest to the local
area to where the customer is living.
This
will also be of benefit to the other local
retailers and service providers as potential
customers will be able to easily check to
see if a store local to them is offering any
special discounts on a specific product or
service.
They
can then decide to pick up the product
personally from their local franchise or
independent store or save costs by employing
an independent service provider who lives in
that particular area.
Another
less obvious advantage to buying goods and
services from a locally based provider is
that it helps to reduce an areas overall
carbon footprint.
In
each section we will also highlight other
ways to reduce your own personal carbon
footprint, simply click on the local
carbon footprint logo
at the foot of each area section for a link
to more information.
Please
Note: We are currently updating all of our
area sections so please bare with us while we complete
the process. We will add links to other
areas as each area is updated.
