I’ve got to make copies of receipts and so on, then I’ll be deleting amazon entirely, hopefully within this boycott period. I haven’t bought anything for a while and already deleted my kindle collection (Anna was so kind as to help me replace my purchases).
It wasn’t as hard as I’d thought. Convenience isn’t the be all and end all. I actually feel good making ethical purchases and it gives a sense of power and autonomy which is very satisfying.
Thanks, it’s like I get a warm and fuzzy boost as a freebie with every purchase. It’s definitely worth the extra messing around finding a good place to buy something, I still buy most stuff online.
a nearly new phone from back market - that’s good for lots of tech.
CPC Farnell for an electric blanket, they sell new DIY stuff, electronics and so on. You don’t need a business to buy from there.
Another good place for second hand is Vinted, its not just for clothes, I bought 2 watches from there, books, jewellery and other random stuff, you can find a lot of random stuff for cheap so I look there first if I need something (look for the bulk discounts, if sellers offer that, or you can offer less).
Odylique for skincare, toiletries, makeup etc
I’ve bought new clothes etc from snagtights, nobody’s child and seasalt.
If you’re in the UK there’s a resource to help called ethicalconsumer.org. I’ve changed practically everything I spend money on using that site and probably saved money too.
Now I’m looking for the best source of laundry and cleaning stuff, not sure if it’s worth bulk buying and refilling containers and so on. I’m also thinking about a weekly organic veg box.
