Here's the trick I use all the time. I use Amazon as a search engine to find what I want. I get the information (mfg and model #) from the Amazon website. I read the comment section and take note of the product rating from which I determine the brand I want. Then I take the mfg and model # and do a Internet search to find the manufacturer and buy directly from the manufacturer.
I never use Amazon to buy anything. I also detest ebay because of long past bad experiences. As far as clothes and shoes are concerned, this tends to be a more involved purchase simply because of size variations and wearing it is the ultimate determinant for a purchase. If you go to a Big Box Top retailer, especially all those that have benefited financially from the small business lock downs, I suggest using them to determine what you want to buy, get the information off the product, and then go home and look it up on the Internet. I won't step foot in a Walmart and as far as I am concerned, they are the enemy of mankind.
With regards to meat and poultry, living in a small town also allows you to make purchases directly off the farm. You can join a food club or link up with a neighbor or two, to buy a side of beef, lamb, pork, or even get farm fresh dairy and eggs.
For electronics, there are a good variety of on-line distributors like Tiger Direct, and others. I never set foot in a Best Buy because I was confronted about not wearing a face mask and the manager was a prick and disrespected me after I mentioned my disability. Best Buy is a has been. The Geek Squad has kept them afloat for the past several years. Good ridden to them when go into bankruptcy. I look forward to the day when that happens.
Tiger direct isn't Jew owned? Didn't know that. I like tiger direct in the past. Solid refurbs. Thanks.
You will have to do your own research on this. I don't ever hear of them making radical left-wing statements or donations to Antifa or BLM, and similar, so they pass muster for me..... so far. Moreover, they are only one alternative to other on-line electronic/computer stores.
