I have changed brands on several products because I started paying attention to where the product comes from or what's its parent company. Fortunately, most of my purchases were already from local or national brands, so it hasn't been too life changing.

However, I am now looking at labels way more than a few months ago.

Same, I was surprisingly buying more local than I thought. But yeah also feel like I'm checking every label now.
