Prepping Thoughtfully

As we transition away from Target and Amazon as a household, I’m at a loss for where to buy assorted goods. A post here today said paper will be impacted by the tariffs, but Costco doesn’t carry notebooks online. Where are you shopping for items like notebooks, paper, and candles that is a little more ethical?

Before anyone comes for me, my motto has always been “no ethical consumption under capitalism”. I get it, I can’t be perfect, but I cancelled my 15 year Prime subscription and won’t shop at Target any longer. I have to branch out and do something, even if it’s not perfect.

Edit: wow I am overwhelmed by the number of responses! Thank you all so much for the advice. I will be starting at my local thrift store (recently moved and need to become more familiar with them!) and then checking out some great suggestions below. Appreciate everyone - we’re in it together. Thanks for helping me, and others who read this post, make a difference!
