I am willing to pay more to avoid the US but I strongly prefer that extra goes to smaller businesses.
For example for dishwasher detergent powder I’m willing to pay extra compared to my mainstay Great Value, but I don’t want to give Pattison or Weston and the cartels $$$$ to sell me ridiculously priced stuff. But I can order direct from Nellie’s and it comes out more but I’m ok with that.
Local markets can often have extremely good deals, as with the soon-to-expire-food apps. Being flexible on what you buy can help you get good prices and still local and non-US.

Support local, shoplift from corporate, everyone wins :)
Yes this is exactly the way I feel too. I started to really enjoy looking up where I can find new products made locally.
