I'm living alone for the first time in my adult life! That means there are a lot of household items I need to acquire. I've been trying really hard to not support large corporations. If I cannot find something used in thrift stores, buy-nothing groups, or FB marketplace, then I want to buy local as much as possible to support local stores or locally owned online businesses. I love the charm of used items and think that voting with our money is some of the biggest impact we can make. Many of these items are just suggestions for the things I need, but please feel free to gift used things.
