Nope. There are many products I don't buy, but I don't really make a political point of it.

Now don't pull a Naso on us and post something like that without explanation, TG.  What did you boycott?

My family doesn't go to Walmart much. Something my dad heard a while ago (obviously) that they donated to some sort of abortion service.

I no longer shop at Target. They mishandled my personal information, and as a result I had to waste a lot of time canceling credit cards and moving bank accounts.

I'll probably go back eventually, but they are being "punished" for the time being.

I'm not opposed to it, but I've never done it or considered it.  I might would if I felt very strongly about what the company had explicitly endorsed though.

No, but then I'm not really much of a big spender anyway.

Most places I would be inclined to boycott I don't even visit anyway and I'm not the type to call for, or participate in, mass boycotts either.

I would boycott a company if it really offended me in some way, but I'd do it in a private manner and not whore for attention over it.

I'd boycott Chic-Fil-A if it weren't the only restaurant at my school that I enjoy.

Wal-Mart. Of course I don't have easy access to one where I currently live anyway. Sure I could drive to one in the suburbs but why do that and pass tons of closer stores?

I used to boycott Walmart, but they're too close to resist. I still boycott McDonald's.

I didn't step foot in Target for a year after they donated $150,000 to Tom Emmer for governor in 2010.  Though tbf I did consume products that other people purchased at Target.  It was a soft boycott at most.

Does the Catholic Church count? I love my faith and was awfully committed to it, but after three "homilies" in a row that were nothing but political tripe from "guest speakers," I stopped going outright and haven't been back since.

I boycotted Chick-fil-A, but it was fairly easy to do when the closest one is about 3 hours away. And I don't like fried chicken.

I boycotted Outback Steakhouse for a few years after the Outback Bowl snubbed MSU (9-2) for an inferior Georgia (7-4) team following the 1999 season.
