These are the best resources I know for seeing who your dollars spent are supporting. As far as Target, shopping at Costco or shopping local are great alternatives, and reducing consumption is excellent. Thrift and charity shops. Ordering directly from the manufacturer or smaller suppliers. A lot of us got used to 2 day and click and pick up. Well, a lot of the time Prime doesn’t even deliver on that. I find that I spend less overall when I buy in bulk. I put a reminder in my phone to check about quarterly. Factoring the time I spent returning Prime stuff that didn’t work and dealing with the excessive packaging, I don’t think I’m spending more time now than when I relied on Subscribe and Save.

As far as DEI just not working in the marketplace,  Costco would like a word. Over the last 5 years, Costco stock rose nearly 200%, 37% rise in the last year. Their board strongly recommended that shareholders vote to keep the DEI policies that have helped make Costco the success that it is.

We’re going to be told to shut up. We’re going to be told that it doesn’t matter where we shop. We’re going to be told that we’re “just hurting the employees!” with boycotts. They will say anything to keep dollars flowing to red politicians. Don’t listen. Pay attention to Europe and to history. Boycotts and strikes can absolutely bring about change. But buckle up because it will take time. Do what you can and stay tuned for organized boycotts.
