Go Woke Go Broke
Some resources for shopping un-woke, or at least less woke
You’ve decided to boycott Target and other woke corporations…..but now where do you shop? Here are a few ideas to get you stared, and check back every so often to see if I’ve added to the list or posted more lists in another post on this substack.
Even if you just replace one purchase that you’d usually buy with another that supports your values more, that’s progress! I don’t have this all figured out or mastered myself. Each step we make toward supporting better companies makes a difference!
I have not deeply researched all of the following resources, so use them at your own discretion, and use them as stating points in your research.
Gab’s Parallel Economy Shopping Catalog or search #paralleconomy on Gab for a variety of businesses
Patriot Switch (thank you to the reader who suggested this addition!)
Shop local! This is something I’d like to improve on, but supporting small local businesses is a great way to support your community
Check out this post with some more businesses
Browse these links and let me know what you find! What are your favorite non-woke companies to support?
PubliSq.com Is actually an aggregate site of businesses that promote Christian, patriotic or conservative values. One thing I like is the variety of businesses offered. There’s life insurance, coffee, household goods and essentials, skin care, candles, mobile services, clothing, children's books, pet supplies, meat vendors, end even a no-mandate job site! Another thing I like is that by buying the products of at least one vendor (Be Courageous Coffee), part of your purchase will help support their ministry effort to equip Christian families to raise confident kids in uncertain times. Another thing I like is that, instead of buying online, you can check to see if there are distributors or vendors in your local area and save on shipping costs.
The only small issue I have is that some of the products are pretty steep in price, and some products come in packages or subscriptions that are even steeper, although you can get discounts if you go through the PubliSq. website. Ella Jo Clothing Co. and Fabulous Knits have reasonable prices. My favorite store, so far, is Everyday Essentials that has everything for air and furnace filters to toilet paper. I bought some reusable storage bags to try them out. There’s a variety of payment options and payment was easy (except the Google Pay option was kind of wonky). This site at least also offer a pay-by-installment option on some items.
Hopefully, with more customers their prices will become more competitive, but I think this could be a winner. They have an app on Google Play that you can download and try them out for yourself.
Another site I found that looks interesting is publicsq.com.
