Have you tried buying from aliexpress? It’s the same products as on Amazon, but directly from the supplier. Imagine Amazon, but everything’s 50% off.

OP wants to support the US economy more - funnelling money directly to Chinese sellers definitely won’t do that and is arguably even worse than supporting Amazon (who at least employ Americans).

Either way, it still puts at least some money in American pockets. The reality of buying everything you need in life as American made is long dead.
