Also all these "JuSt CoNsuMe LeSs" comments I am seeing is just sad. Not everyone is a brainless consumerist, buying shit for the sake of buying. People need to buy certain things. It is unavoidable in today's world, and there are alternatives to some stuff but you just have to look. AliExpress is one potential if you can handle waiting for shipping. eBay is iffy but I've not been scammed yet on anything. Etsy can have some stuff. I usually just find the general type of item on Amazon then search for it on the web and see what sites have it. Idk what that new Temu site is but I see stuff on there. Feels iffy to me but I haven't used it and it's a fairly new thing from what I understand.
Some stuff can also be bought straight from the company if you look for it. In general though, there's not a whole lot of options. Just get what you need and try not to stress out to much. There's only so much we can do on an individual basis and the whole "vOtE WitH yOuR wAlLet" thing can't really work.
What specifically are you buying?
