On Saturday, we went to our favorite Swedish shopping destination for the best, most affordable breakfast in town, and to pick up a few little things for around the house. For just the second time in my memory, we left without buying ANYTHING.
How could this happen? Over the last little while, we’ve been making a conscious effort to avoid buying products made in China. Since the single most important thing in our lives performs taste tests on anything within her ever-expanding reach, I’m just not comfortable with having Chinese products, which all seem to be laced with melamine, where they can be grabbed by little hands. Every item we looked at in the store was made in China.
So, for the short-term, our boycott is saving us money. When we actually need to buy something, it may start to cost us a little more, but by preventing our impulse buys, hopefully we’ll still come out ahead.
