100%

If there is any alternative (Canadian first, but any non-USA), even if it costs a bit more or is less convenient, I get that. If there isn't an alternative, then I think if it's a need or a want. If it's a want, back on the shelf it goes. If it's a need with no alternative, I grugenly buy it. That eliminates 99.9% of purchases from USA companies or products that have a USA connection in some way.

I understand that I'm lucky enough to be able to spend a slight premium or take some extra time to find an alternative. I also lump Israel and Russian products/companies in with the above logic, but they're much easier to avoid.

YMMV.

I think consumables alone makes a huge dent. Like you buy calking like once a decade?

And like who knows how long it sat on that shelf. Retailer might be selling off old inventory before switching to a domestic supplier.

I'm sure you asked an employee but IMO that will go a long way to helping retailers transition their inventories as well.

All in all I think you're doing a great job!
