How do I have phone numbers in local storage instead of google contacts?

[shmotog]

Whenever I try and store a phone number it makes me save it in google contacts.Why? If I don't add a google account to my phone, in case that's what will be suggested to me, it does indeed say it is saving on phone but I do want a google account as I use google hangout. I just don't want to save my numbers to google contacts. How do I go around this? I know I can do backup contacts to SD Card or Export to SIM but I don't want to do that, I just want it to store my phone numbers in the local phone storage.
