Shop It Local - Koop Plaaslik

03/09/2026

Spring week. New season energy.

Here’s my challenge for you — wherever you are in SA:

Do ONE shop local swap this week.

Instead of the big chain, choose the local who:
Knows your order.
Remembers your size.
Answers their own DMs.

You don’t have to change where you shop for everything. Just one swap.
