Just an aside, some folks who choose to never go to Walmart also avoid other big chains.
I am trying to expand using my wallet as a method of social change. It's one thing I'm thinking of spending more on post challenge. I'd like to look more at who makes my clothes. Buying used helps, but I'd like to buy to buy my new with an eye to making sure the people who made the clothes got a decent wage with decent working conditions. I don't know yet who those manufacturers would be.
I do specifically choose to not go to certain stores for certain reasons; either joining a boycott or my own mini-boycott. Lots of us on SA have very different views; no real need for me to say why, or what businesses, just saying I do try to align spending with belief.
