Exactly, stop shopping at the big box stores that cater to the regime, and boycott the online entities like Amazon. There are other choices to buy from, such as smaller local retailers (who are most at risk to lose from the tariff stupidity). I found a couple of online grocery retailers who try to source their products to stay competitive and I have been happy with them so far. So for those of us who don’t care about the latest fashion brands or have to have twenty pairs of shoes (LOL) ,which used to be me back in the day),there are choices to minimize our spending. My car is paid for and well maintained so I am going to wait and see, not planning to buy now. Maybe all consumers can support each other by proposing a “buy less is patriotic “ approach during this regime.
I agree with you on Aldi, love going there. Trader Joe’s was in the news last year regarding their anti union policies so I have cooled towards shopping there. But Aldi is about 20 minutes away, so one of my favorite places (and yea! We have a new Costco that’s an easy commute from Aldi) so more options.
Hi, I use Misfits Market online app and Thrive Market to supplement my groceries and products. I live in a semi-rural mountainous area in SoCal so have had weather conditions where it’s sometimes not feasible to drive anywhere and other issues so I decided to subscribe to these two options. And being a senior I am trying to eat a little more healthy, organic foods. Cost wise, probably a little more pricey for some things but so far I am liking them.

We’re seniors too!
In Chicago, we have everything, “big box,” midsize and small shops!
The pricier neighborhoods have numerous small shops where you pay more for everything but you are NOT supporting the oligarchy!
It’s so darn worth it if you can afford it!
Lower-priced options are
Aldi and Trader Joe’s (both are German-owned brands!).
Both retailers are better groceries than the dreaded Whole Foods (Amazon) and Walmart!

Fabulous response for meeting our challenges with joy and gusto!
Thanks so much Kathy!
