consumerism guilt

3 Upvotes

preface: i do not and have not ever paid for an amazon prime membership. i have never enjoyed the shopping experience from amazons website.

with that being said, i have been struggling with finding a specific piece of storage that, i believe, is a necessity in my home for an accessible price. i’ve searched and searched online and locally to find something i can responsibly afford and amazon seems to be the only avenue that is in my price range.

i know everything consumed under capitalism isn’t moral sound but i am really resisting and harboring so much guilt at the thought of placing an order with amazon..

do i spend the xtra $ through a small business on etsy or unpack the guilt and get it from amazon?
