Don’t just buy from the EU, buy local first (europe.pub)

I see a lot of posts of people complaining that some import products from the EU are too expensive in their own country - namely there was a viral post about someone from Bulgaria sharing that the German Fritz Cola is 2x more expensive than the US alternatives.

In this movement no one is asking you to buy Fritz, buy Bulgarian alternatives first - I am sure there are plenty of bulgarian cola alternatives.

If you live in Bulgaria (ofc whichever country actually) this is best thing to do:

⁠Buy as local for your city, region you can get (support small companies, mom & pop shops, farmers etc)

Buy generally Bulgarian stuff to support your own economy

Buy EU stuff to support EU economy

Buy Canada or any other ally nation stuff to support good relationship

Buy from USA, China etc (arguably buy Chinese before american)

Ofc the list is just an example on the thought process, you can also make your own list based on your own convictions

Yes we have to keep it inclusive. However, it's still not bad that we encourage people to buy as locally as possible.
