Can't help you there. Buying stuff isn't anonymous, even brick and mortar stores have cloud surveillance cams now.
Most of my shopping is done at street markets. When a big parking is filled with vans and portable tables on a weekly basis, there is no surveillance. But if I need something very particular then the cash option gets threatened. E.g. I would like to have a Flipper Zero but these are never at street markets and not even on any shelves anywhere.
I have a Flipper Zero (and case and the extra components) that I'll 99.99% likely never use. I'd love to get cash for it but I'd be asking twice what it's worth because I like having it on 'what if' grounds.
But I feel you, it's unfortunate about the state of things. The EU just banned privacy coins. US is soon coming I'm sure. They won't allow people to legally use them after the release of a central bank coin.
