    Both Amish and Mennonites shop and use electronics as needed. And it also varies quite a bit from church to church.

    It’s not that they don’t use modern technology in every case. They just value a solid days work of some manual labor and see most of it as shortcuts.

      I’m not even phased by the shopping at a store itself (surely they still buy lumber and hardware and such), more the specific one because I thought they also stayed away from processed foods and stuff. Do they not? And if not: how did that idea get in my head? 😵‍💫

        Walmart around me has a ton of fresh food. Things like flour, salt, beans, are typically fair game as well in my experience. Clothing I suspect is another reason to hit up a Walmart.

        They try and keep it in the community but they gets harder each year I’m guessing.
