      I’m in england btw so YMMV. So far I bought

      • a nearly new phone from back market - that’s good for lots of tech.
      • CPC Farnell for an electric blanket, they sell new DIY stuff, electronics and so on. You don’t need a business to buy from there.
      • Another good place for second hand is Vinted, its not just for clothes, I bought 2 watches from there, books, jewellery and other random stuff, you can find a lot of random stuff for cheap so I look there first if I need something (look for the bulk discounts, if sellers offer that, or you can offer less).
      • Odylique for skincare, toiletries, makeup etc
      • I’ve bought new clothes etc from snagtights, nobody’s child and seasalt.
      • If you’re in the UK there’s a resource to help called ethicalconsumer.org. I’ve changed practically everything I spend money on using that site and probably saved money too.
      • Now I’m looking for the best source of laundry and cleaning stuff, not sure if it’s worth bulk buying and refilling containers and so on. I’m also thinking about a weekly organic veg box.
