I‘m lucky enough not to live in a city or region where already the costs for very basic living such as ground, housing, energy or even water… are as ridiculously high as for example Munich, Frankfurt/Main, Berlin…and my house is paid so i don’t have to turn around the Cent to copper wire.
So in a matter of food I try to buy my food local and seasonal whenever possible, from local farmers around, from a local butcher who sources the animals he still slaughters himself from farms nearby where they are raised with a little more respect …
In respect of greens this has not even necessarily to be more expensive than in any supermarket and I don’t need strawberries in winter…for example.
My tools and machineries are Made in Germany as I usually buy these once in a lifetime and doing so I’d like to support German workforce. Not too few tools I got are already passed down from grandparents generation.
Cars, clothing, shoes, white ware… at least Made in Europe.
All this just for kind of „local patriotism“ because I like to support local, national, European jobs as long as they exist, rather than the rest of the world, avoiding the British model best possible.
