if you are not able to boycott big box retailers like walmart or target due to financial constraints or lack of other options in your area, please know there is no judgement from me 🥺❤️

bestie i understand 😭 if you are able, try to switch at least one product you currently use to a more ethical brand. try to buy direct from brands you use and want to keep supporting 🥺 this system is designed to make these decisions difficult
I don't go to Walmart all that often, but sometimes we need to be there because the prices are much cheaper than the Save-On-Foods stores we have here (like i'd rather pay $3 at walmart for Yogurt than $5 for the same thing at Save-On)....I know the Canadian dollar isn't great but still, come on!
this is the exact same boat my household is in: we can’t afford to boycott everyone but we’re going to do our best to find ethical brands for products we use, and attempt to buy from those brands directly
this!! im a college student and i can’t afford to boycott stuff like this :( thank u for being so sweet about it so many people are rude just because not everyone has the money to go to other places
Girl my husband is EMPLOYED by one of those stores! I hate shopping there either way but he can't just quit without being able to find something better first which is not the easiest in our rural area. We hate it but we make changes where we can and our intentions are always good. ❤️
my household blends our grocery shopping between winco and walmart also due to financial constraints 😭 boycott where you can and try to buy products directly from brands
bestie i get it 🥺 try to research brands you currently use and buy direct if you are able to. make even one switch to a more ethical brand that you have available to you. the smallest of changes do make a difference
yeah! there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, which should be taken to mean that it’s not possible to be perfect but we gotta try when we can. like i buy nearly all my books from indie bookshops as that’s an easy swap to make
this is exactly it, bestie 🥺 no one can boycott perfectly, we live in a system purposely designed to make that kind of decision impossible. but the little swaps from a lot of people CAN make a difference
i want to shout this response from the rooftops bestie ❤️ nobody can boycott perfectly, but if everyone makes small changes it can and will make a difference
it is definitely a privilege to afford to boycott 🥺 we are cutting out companies and brands where we can, trying to find alternatives, and looking into brands we love to buy direct

But then with how the CAD is on it's own, it's for that reason alone that makes it super difficult to get things that we'd need from anywhere...
I am thankful that I am able to make my own personal spending choices
