Last trip to the grocery store I couldn’t find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.
I’m very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there’s even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I’d expected.
Last year I moved from Ontario to Spain so avoiding American products has been pretty easy at the grocery store. The main thing has been cancelling online American services like Netflix, Amazon, Google one, Youtube Premium, etc.
There is movistar plus which is a bit like crave, so its 100% not cutting off the US as you can watch some american content on it. But it also has a lot of Spanish content which is fresh for us. We’re also looking at some UK streaming services that are available in Spain like BBC ITVX but we haven’t subscribed yet.
Also looking at the high seas for content we couldn’t get at either of those 😅

Cancel them, but don’t stop watching American stuff you like. Just don’t pay for it.
This is the way 🏴☠️
What are you doing for streaming then? High seas, or is there something local available in Spain?

It’s a little daunting but once you get it up and running with a VPN, you’ll never miss those enshitified streaming services.
