Such a great post @Natalia thanks for your writings! Other than using Bitcoin I've been always pro locals, buying local products and support local merchants is such an important factor, especially if you live in a place for log time, it also helps build the surrounding community.
I's hard for me to understand why there is cheaper, usually local products are much expensive because small local producers can't cop with the hi volume production, the factor that helps diminish the cost per unit. Maybe I'm wrong, never dig deeper enough to fully understand those dynamics.

Good question; I guess I compared the local products with the products from other countries I used to use; for example, all these so-called " organic skincare brands" in the EU or USA are mostly just a fancy marketing strategy when many products in Turkiye are naturally organic, and directly from nature.
The second thing is if you think long term, e.g. buying a hand-woven scarf with stories behind it that can be used for up to 10 years, that's like a steal 👀
