Price tags were all that mattered to me when I shopped years ago.

I bought whatever was cheapest, no questions asked. These days, I think about the people behind the products, and it complicates every purchase.

I saw a documentary about fast fashion a while back and now I can't walk into a Target without overthinking it. It feels like every choice, from coffee to batteries, has this hidden moral math now. I mean even buying eggs turns into a whole thing about chicken welfare and shipping distances. Trying to do the right thing makes simple errands way harder than they used to be.

The True Cost documentary changed my view on shopping. I used to pick items based only on price. Now I consider ethics and it makes simple trips take longer.

That documentary really hits hard, doesn't it? Once you see how things are made, every purchase feels like a test. I spend SO much time just staring at labels now, trying to figure out the LEAST bad option. It's exhausting but also feels IMPORTANT, you know? Simple errands turn into these big moral puzzles that nobody prepared us for.
