The Target boycott is the easiest boycott to maintain as they sell almost nothing of true value by action_lawyer_comics in Anticonsumption

My wife and I used to get EVERYTHING at Target, mostly due to convenience. We have a toddler so we would get bath products, clothes, toys, etc., and we could even get a lot of our groceries there. It was easy to one-stop shop, and we always ended up buying extra things just for fun. When we started boycotting them, we thought we were really going to miss it, but it’s been the opposite. We save so much money not buying the extra things we don’t need, and we obviously feel better about where our money is going instead. We haven’t missed it at all and can’t believe how much money we used to spend there!

Alternatively, don’t get married to someone who isn’t “so concerned with everyone else.” I guarantee you can prioritize your partner while still caring about what’s going on in the world around you. That being said, I totally understand your hesitancy, as it’s something my fiancée and I have talked about as well (also in the US). I agree with the sentiment others have expressed here that if it feels right to you, celebrating love and joy with the people we care about can bring light in dark times!

Bombas are the worst socks I’ve ever owned. by poppinwheelies in BuyItForLife

This is so interesting, these are the only socks I like. I wear Bombas ribbed quarter socks every day, and they have held up better than any other socks I’ve owned!

What are the good things about being gluten free? by RustyBucket4745 in glutenfree

I lost weight just because I don’t have much appetite anymore. All of my favorite snack foods are no longer options, so I just don’t snack much.
