Shop at Aldi or Lidl (German). Although Asda isn't owned by Walmart any more, so I think British supermarkets are all pretty British again, apart from Safeway but I haven't seen one of those in a long time.

why not just tell people to shop local? do other countries just not have domestic chains anymore?

i know switzerland has coop, and last i checked there's a who series of cooperative grocery stores throughout europe..

Omg, I'm boycotting USA ... since like forever, I'm so sorry, it was totally by accident, thots and players, I hope everyone recovers financially.

Tho the steaming one I do a bit ... differently.

(Also just boycott big corpos as much as possible, no matter the region!!)

For clothing id probably recommend thrifting. But I love this list.

I've barely seen any of the drink alternatives (unfortunately).

Besides Redbull, which I don't drink, I've seen fritz cola, but that's usually at 2-2,5x the price of a coca cola. As an alternative that really stings.

Somehow I don't use/buy any of these? Like from either side of the chart... I guess I'm doing my part?
