tl;dr: preferably buy locally made "aesthetic" things!

I've been seeing a lot of people (especially in the cottagecore lifestyle/aesthetic) buy fruits and veggies and other stuff (clothes and accesories) from megacorps like kroger, walmart, shein, target or whole foods and I just wanted to remind you, to avoid doing that(if you can) and buy locally!

Most of those companies make the clothes they sell in sweatshops and factory farms which are notoriously unethical for both workers and animals, and the fact some farm/factory workers are horrendously underpaid for their work.

Along with that buying locally you are supporting job creation. so please, buy stuff locally like, in general.
