Don’t just buy from the EU, buy local first
I see a lot of posts of people complaining that some import products from the EU are too expensive in their own country - namely there was a viral post about someone from Bulgaria sharing that the German Fritz Cola is 2x more expensive than the US alternatives.
In this movement no one is asking you to buy Fritz, buy Bulgarian alternatives first - I am sure there are plenty of bulgarian cola alternatives.
If you live in Bulgaria (ofc whichever country actually) this is best thing to do:
Ofc the list is just an example on the thought process, you can also make your own list based on your own convictions

Red Bull - European but Far right
Buy European but ... Also with ethical considerations.
Red Bull might sound cool, but they have their own TV station in Austria. (servus TV) And that station js beyond far right. Spreading disinformation, and Russian propaganda, Corona Bullshi, Ivermectint, cleaning stuff with chlorid, climate change deniers, ... If there is a conspiracy they support it ...
(And it's also not very healthy,....)
This is why you go European even if the company is open-source
The encrypted messaging app Signal has stopped responding to requests from Ukrainian law enforcement regarding Russian cyberthreats, a Ukrainian official claimed, warning that the shift is aiding Moscow’s intelligence efforts.
European alternatives to Google's Gmail
What European email services do you use?
Please recommend other interesting email services by your experience.
I have switched from Google's Gmail to ProtonMail and kMail. I really like both, kMail (by Infomaniak) have very similar app interface to Gmail so you will get used to it very fast and also have big storage for free and very good offers for paid plans 👍🏼

Buying and paying for services is not only an American virtue, it's also a virtue of our fucked up system and the world we're living in right now. We know that we deserve better. We're known for our resilience, our personal and societal values and our thinking. Buy European and Be European!
Here's suggestions on how you can minimise your dependence on apps and services. It's not only a truly European value, but it not only helps your local businesses and also saves you in case of emergencies. Also: Make backups and store them in places other than your home.
My suggestions:
Print your photos, make photo books. Store your files on physical Hard Drives, print your most important documents and put them into folders. Make password protected backups on drives and give them to family members or close friends.

German ntv covers the buy european movement
Seit Trump Strafzölle verhängt, wird Konsum politisch. Die Bewegung "Buy from EU" fordert Europäer auf, heimische Produkte zu bevorzugen. Wirtschaftlich dürften die Auswirkungen solcher Aufrufe gering sein. Doch den Initiatoren geht es um etwas anderes.

I've been using their app for some time now and really like the concept: Basically it allows restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets etc to announce when they have stuff leftover that they'd usually throw away at the end of the day. You can browse those nearby shops in the app and reserve a "surprise bag" for a small amount, usually around a third of the regular price, but it varies. In the pickup timeframe (usally around 30-60min before their closing time) you go there, show that you've reserved the bag in your app, confirm that you've received it and happily walk home with a ton of surprise food for super cheap.
After using it for a while I can especially recommend looking for food stalls at farmers markets as they often have lots of stuff leftover that they don't want to take back home when packing up so they're often super generous. Bakeries are also great, I regularly get a week's supply of bread, buns, pastries and cake for
Süddeutsche Zeitung (German) reporting on #buyEuropean
Als Reaktion auf Trumps Strafzölle boykottieren Verbraucher amerikanische Produkte. In den sozialen Medien kursieren Ersatzlisten.

The Süddeutsche Zeitung is reporting on the buy European movement. And thus time it is not a newspaper with questionable reporting, but one of the largest German daily newspapers and arguably one of the best.
The article is likely paywalled.
