In order of impact

  • Live without it

  • Repair/repurpose something you already have (ex: dig out a spare you might not have in easy reach)

  • Secondhand, local (ex: yard sale, estate sale, Craigslist)

  • Secondhand, online (ex: Mercari, Depop, eBay)

  • Small/medium business, local (ex: farmer's market, your local co-op grocery store)

  • Small/medium business, online (ex: an individual that makes a certain type of widget, an online specialty store)

  • Large business, local (ex: Meijer, Kroger, Target, Walgreen's)

  • Large business, online

  • Amazon

I have personally been going with Meijer as my large business of choice when nothing else serves my needs. I'm not sure how much of an impact choosing Meijer over Target has. But I figure the less I give to any large businesses, the better.
