Nice that your area has 'em. Mine does not. There's two grocery stores: walmart, and some local place which is a gamble on if your milk will be good and the flour won't have bugs in it

Do you have a non major brand example then?

And that is why you go to stores that carry non major brands, which is where I started with it.

The "not major brand" that's produced by the major brand still lines the pockets of the major brand lol

Sure, most people know that, but the "not major brand" is also cheaper.
Plus many of these local stores are sourcing more local products from smaller producers too.

It can be done without Nestle, or the other bigger brands.
But why would they change their ways when people keep pouring their money out for their products?

Shop things on the bottom shelves - many are from small manufacturers.
But people refuse to do that.

Kinda like how brand name Eggos and generic Eggos are produced in the same factory?
Using Eggos as an example but it could be swapped with anything lol

The point was that there's a solid chance your "not major brand" is actually produced by a major brand

It's a win win for the community.
Slightly cheaper groceries because small company, major brands taboo, and local residents have jobs, instead of machines and self checkout.

Why do you need to buy major brands?

Our little local grocery store doesn't even offer major brands, except a veery very few items.
Still plenty of food to purchase there, and way less cost.
They even have real live employed cashiers at every checkout!
Imagine that!

Nestle alone owns over 2000 brands

Not at all hard to avoid the large companies.
I have done so successfully both here in our current area, plus in 2 other areas in NC.

The Old Gods

04:43:15 Void Malign

Well, owing that there's really only a handful of companies that own most major brands? It's very hard to avoid things lol

Vech,
Exactly!

Corporations are not there to lose money, and they have way too much, are wasteful, and yes, the executives are disproportionately paid.
Hence why I shop elsewhere

Major companies aren't your friends. When the *only* thing you care about is making money, that's detrimental to your business. Good example right now that I've been involved with is Apex Legends, a very large first person shooter game. They started making stupid decisions with their monetization thinking they'd make tons of money and they got review bombed so badly that they reversed the changes before they even had a chance to implement them

I agree about the CEOs.
But as long as people keep paying their company, they will keep taking a big paycheck.

People need to learn how to shop small.
Maybe even how to change their habits to not support the large corporations.

Can do without much of what you think you cannot live without.
Loving a simpler life since I learned this and applied it.
