Thrift shopping is one way I deal with the ethical dilemma of overseas wage slavery. If possible, I try to buy things used. Stuff like furniture, clothes, and decor often can be found in excellent condition used, sometimes even substantially cheaper. I do not try quite so hard with performance gear (I'm an athlete) or food. The amount of time and risks are just much higher for both of those categories. For example, trail runners are just destroyed after 500 miles, but often look the same as a pair with 50. Also electronics, I'll definitely pay full price for RAM, hard drives, etc.
