I want to shop local, but when I google locally owned stores they’re all boutique-type stuff or restaurants. How do I find deodorant and a bag of sugar?

    The US made a lot of its own sugar in the past either though sugar beets, or by growing cane in the extreme south, but that era is largely over (ignoring corn syrup): it’s cheaper to import it from places where imperialism keeps wages low.

    Most US food is not local, unless you go to a farm share or market.
