Do you use your local shops?

Bought some meat from my local butcher today for the first time. Since moving out of my parents house 5 years ago, I've only ever bought meat from the supermarket. I can't believe the difference in quality! Granted, meat from the local butchers is more expensive than the supermarket stuff, but the taste is leaps and bounds above it.

There seems to be as bit of a debate around shopping local and value for money, so I'm curious- do you visit your local butcher or do you stick to the supermarket meat? Do you go out of your way to shop locally even if its just for an artisan loaf at the bakers round the corner? Would like to hear your thoughts!
