This is when thrift stores can become your go to. Even if the stuff is made in China, they're no longer profiting from it. I haven't bought anything new in a few years. Where I live I'm amazed at what people either just get rid of, or sell really cheap. I know that's not the case for all locations, but if you can, check out the used goods markets.
I've gone to thrift store from time to time in the past and have also been shocked at the items that are just discarded by others. Got a pair of Paradigm home speakers for $20 for the pair. They are almost in mint condition.
