About 10 years ago I braved the crowds on Black Friday. It was a horrible experience. The crowds are enormorus and I quickly got tired of being pushed and shoved while I shopped.
I was frazzled and frustrated by the time I headed home. I had also spent more than I planned, mostly so I could finish and get away from the crowds.
I vowed never to go out shopping on Black Friday again. So far I’ve kept that vow.
Today I’m participating in Buy Nothing Day.
Now I haven’t been perfect in my observance of Buy Nothing Day. I broke a nail (my one girly trait) and had to get it fixed today. I also bought lunch at a fast food place because I forgot I was only going to pay for fixing my nails. For the rest of the day, however, I will buy noting.
Why don’t you join me?
