Okay, I'll admit it. I bought them at Goodwill. (It's so cheap and so good - you can't NOT find awesome stuff there!)
Goodwill I think is particularly interesting because - in my opinion, at least - the origin of the things you buy there doesn't really matter. The profit to the manufacturer has already been made; Goodwill takes items for free that have already made their impact on the economy then collects 100% of the profit from selling them, thereby supporting the local economy at 100%.
Take for example, the candles I bought: distributed by Ikea (a Swedish company) and made in China. But totally okay for my conscience, because I'm buying it at Goodwill.
In other news, if I by a product made in China by a Swedish company from an American store, does that create some kind of bizarre paradox?
