OK so we are not part of the gang anymore? Fine, no vegemite for you.

You're right of course but the solution is deceptively simple. Don't shop there. Buy a smaller amount of high quality items. TELL PEOPLE WHAT YOU'VE DONE. Buy them high quality made in the west (so USA, Canada, Europe) items so they see how good they are. Help people know that they don't need all that junk and that they can actually live better without it. An example I'm completely taken with "Darn Tough" socks http://darntough.com/ made in Vermont they're about the best socks I've ever had. They're Merino wool, warm in the winter, cool in the summer. I have both the hike/trek and lifestyle. VERY expensive I pay as much for 1 pair as I'd have paid for a dozen cheap white tube socks but they're a joy to wear. When I only had one pair I looked forward to the day each week when I get to wear them. Now I have 4 or 5 pairs and I'm annoyed on the days they're all in the wash. I won't go back to cheap socks, my feet are too important to me. -Curt
