Is it Wayfair and IKEA for furniture now? Where should I get household decor?

Get over yourself. All DEI departments are going away.

Not true, and we can choose to shop at humane and inclusive places- Costco, IKEA are the new go-to stores!

What local grocer????

The chain grocery store nearest your house. Take your pick. No need for Target.

Ok but you made it sound like you’re suggesting some mom and pop grocers.

Locally these are called farmer’s markets. The ones on the farm, not the pop ups you see on weekends- though those are fine too but on the farm ones have more stuff like a real store. If you don’t know where the best ones are go to a pop up and ask around, then seek them out and support them. Fruits, veg, pasta, chips, salsa, soda, bakery, bread, toiletries, canned goods, seasonal items, gifts, whatever. They pretty much have anything you need except toilet paper and paper towels. But handmade dish towels for the environmentally conscious you will probably find. They won’t be the mass produced names you’re used to but 95% will be better than that stuff anyways. So what if you have to drive an hour to get there, you spend an hour driving around Costco looking for parking and waiting to checkout. Sure you might pay a little more for speciality items but you’re supporting multiple small local businesses with that premium and your fruits and veg will be cheaper so it evens out. The kids can look at the animals and pick their own fruit and smell fresh air.

But they are farmers…and chances are they support trump. You’re not doing good the way you think you are

I'd still rather support a farmer anyway. And Costco buys from local growers, at least where I live.

Everyone should support farmers for obvious reasons, lol. If they support Trump that's ok too, seems like he's doing what Biden failed to do with the border.

What? Farmers rely on migrant workers. This is the opposite of what farmers want. Know any farmers?

We've already ended our Amazon usage and I have deleted accounts on problematic social media platforms. Definitely a lifestyle shift happening for our family. Perfect is the enemy of good - we will vote with our dollars wherever possible.
