Target is out, Costco is in. Walmart is out too. Anything I can't get from Costco, I'll try to find from a small business. Amazon can kick rocks too. Just because Jeff Bezos isn't the CEO anymore doesn't mean anything to me. He was kissing trump ass during the inauguration. Also fuck Meta & all of their products & services.

It’s challenging to avoid using products owned or controlled by Amazon. AWS comes to mind.

Yeah Amazon is the one that I'd struggle to not use since I buy damn near everything from them.

Truthfully, I don't think it's realistic to not use all three of the biggest retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon.)

Not shopping at one or two is possible but all three isn't IMO.

Especially when your area doesn't have alternatives such as Costco. The Costco in my area won't be open until early 2026

The biggest impact of these boycotts and blackouts isn't the DEI programs. It's the realization that big box store convenience is a lie. Their savings don't exist. They need us a hell of a lot more than we need them. Also, it's ridiculous to complain about billionaires while we're lining their pockets.

Almost every city has a Chinatown or Mexican neighborhood that sells meat and produce at half the price Target does. The staples cost a bit more, but it all evens out in the end. If you want some Target quality clothes there will be at least a half dozen shops down the street that got you covered.

Would you purchase baby food or medicine at half price?

Not sure I understand the question. Are you suggesting the baby food and NyQuil at Target is different from what they sell it every other store?

The standards are different. Say what you want about american products, but the product standards are waaaay different here than these exports. They selling bad product out here. 'They' meaning Amazon.

I wouldn't trust it either, but nobody's boycotting safeway, lucky's, or winco.

In a pinch there's a market near my house. Overpriced, but always stocked up. They had bread yeast and Clorox wipes during the pandemic and NyQuil during that medicine shortage a couple years ago.

That's why it's time to stop making these box stores our default and see what else is out there.

I agree, my biggest struggle would be Amazon. I don't care about Walmart nor Target, but Amazon is literally a click away for me when looking for something.
