You do the best you can
And it sucks
But you the fight the fight you can
And no one is forced to use Amazon for anything
That is and always has been optional
Walmart is a whole other monster
Not your fault
But ya fight when ya can fight thats what matters❤️
's and Nordstrom, never Amazon
Thriftbooks
All the BEAD shops and powwow supply stores
Customer service is top notch, as well.

Head office in Whitby Ontario
However, when I tried to do this, they asked I just order through Abebooks.....
https://Libro.fm instead of Audible for audiobooks
https://Bookshop.org for book purchases
https://thestorygraph.com instead of goodreads

Try a new history battle card game i designed
Take real people amd their real accomplishments and battle them on merrit
The best game in history
Is "Jewish-owned" equal to "pro-geocide of the Palestinian people" in this case?
I have no problem with the millions of Jewish people living peacefully around the world.
I have a big problem with anyone who supports the evil Israel commits.
Meanwhile we have Mike Huckabee, a member of another right wing government, declaring there is no such thing as the West Bank, because the Bible tells him so.
Your point appears to be that the US is worse due to not just being run by the Jewish, but by the Jewish, and the Christians.
If your point is that religious people are dodgy as all hell, and should have nothing at all to do with politics, then Absolutely yes.
I also love Barkbox for treats and toys

I work in advertising, so I get that it’s marketing, but they do have fantastic customer service, so from my experience they’ve been 100% awesome. Are they hard for suppliers or their employees? You’re the 1st negative I’ve heard of.

It's focused on 'circular economy' & positions itself as 'the world's largest online thrift store'.
You can search specific brands, save your sizes, search new with tags, like new, gently worn & they sell fabric scraps for crafting too.
https://www.superbirdtoystore.com/
I buy all my clothes there and are good quality
https://asianfoodgrocer.com is where I order ramen, potato chips, cookies, candy, iced coffee and the like from.
https://www.kleinanzeigen.de
https://vitacost.com - health supplements and food (too much to list)
Costco online - 2-day shipping on non-perishables
https://CVS.com - online form of the major drugstore chain
eBay
You can also buy some products direct from manufacturers.
D.C. groceries are good; customer service has resolved issues. I do wish I weren't shipping boxes of food across the continent, but refure to shop at Whole Foods-- and they've taken over the marketplace here.

I paid far too much for mine ($800AUD), but the filter is meant to last for 3 years, if run for 16 hours a day. It should last me a lifetime, not sure how much they really do anyway.
1) your local craigslist
2)‘buy nothing’ free sites
3) ebay
4)etsy
I love it because i can try a book and if I don't like it, return it early and move on!
I listen to TONS of audio book bios.
I just finished Tanqueray & I NEVER would have found it without Libby. It was a great Gym workout listen!
(Any suggestions I'm here 4🙂)
Just as many folks have been ENABLED to start businesses as local shops have been shuttered by the move to online retail.
All Israeli products
All American products
We have been buying 95% of our clothing from them for years. A great way to avoid the slave trade, and reduce our negative impact on the environment.
And for our departed Casey, shopped at Chewy (Petsmart). We boycotted Petco long ago after their poor bird care practices came to light.
To the US. I’d prefer to buy from indie US and also Canada vs major retailers
You list all your books for others to swap with, and YOU get good books also. And it uses pre-paid postage, so you save money there too!
And you can support your local bookstore
I’ve been wanting to find a nice non Audible book outlet
https://homehardware.ca
https://marks.com
https://shoppersdrugmart.ca
https://gianttiger.com
https://www.joefresh.com
Instead of audible (which is owned by Amazon)
https://attire.tanyaowens.com - Art you can wear!
https://www.adorama.com/ - like B&H Photo
We have 14 pets (cats, guinea pigs, snake) + fish and we use them for almost everything pet-related.
https://Kingarthurbaking.com and https://bobsredmill.com — not as cheap as Amazon but both employee owned.
https://blackfarmersindex.com/
This is just giving options that are better then Amazon, for the things you do need to buy
I’m not going to punish a business for trying to make money via the few options they have.
I use my library card to access it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hoopladigital.android
Independent book stores and all independent non MAGA owned retail shops.
One book donated for every one you buy
