Black Friday is approching...so get ready to....

[Playinghardball]

if you haven't already done so...

[get the red out]

1. No problem!

I am just going to relax all that day, probably play with my dog some, do some knitting.

[MissMillie]

2. I never shop on Black Friday

not even online.

[geardaddy]

3. I don't shop there anyway.

I won't be shopping on BF. I work a full day at my job.

[NuclearDem]

4. And all of the other stores forcing their workers to work Thanksgiving Day.

[Brigid]

5. How can I do that . . .

When I already boycott Wal-Mart and won't be shopping anywhere on Black Friday?

[tosh]

23. Yeah, me too on both counts.

I feel left out.

[appleannie1]

6. I never shop that day. And I sure as hell am not shopping on Thanksgiving.

[Aristus]

7. I'm going to spend Black Friday at home.

In my bathrobe and pajamas. Drinking hot coffee or hot chocolate. Looking out the window at the bleak, gray PNW landscape while being all nice and warm and toasty indoors.

And laughing my ass off at all the discount-junkies out there busting their humps in a fevered frenzy to get the best deal.

For me, the best deal is staying at home with my family enjoying a relaxing day off.

8. Everyday is "Black Friday" at our house,

....but we don't just pick on WalMart.

Produce MORE,
Consume LESS.

Since we moved from the Big City to The Woods in 2006,
we avoid buying anything NEW whenever possible.
We buy 2nd hand or salvage (directly from the previous owner when possible) and make it work, or do without.



--bvar22 & Strakraven
Living well on a low Taxable Income
Next year, we will CONSUME even less.

9. We never shop on Black Friday

Most big stuff is done through Amazon, etc.

10. Do you think Target pays any better? n/t

[Jackpine Radical]

14. The existence of one corporate crook doesn't justify the existence of others.

[geardaddy]

16. Target...

"Expect More. Pay Less." isn't just a marketing motto. It's a motto for their HR department.

[RebelOne]

19. I have found that Target has some good food prices.

Many items that I usually buy at Kroger are at least $1 cheaper at Target.

[polichick]

11. I boycott WalMart every day.

[maxsolomon]

12. Has everyone forgotten

Buy Nothing Day?

November 29th in the US this year.

Its the most wonderful day of the year!

[SheilaT]

13. Never go to Wally World.

Never shop the day after Thanksgiving.

I'm going to guess that the main folks who won't shop there or that day are mostly like me, already don't shop there or on that day.

15. Robert Reich quote ---->

[geardaddy]

17. I go to church on Black Friday

with Reverend Billy at the Church of Stop Shopping

[Nevernose]

18. I won't even leave the house on that day

The streets are far too crazy with irresponsible, semi-deranged lunatics...far worse than New Year's Eve in Las Vegas.

[Skittles]

20. I would not shop on Black Friday if you paid me

I find it all sickening

[Pretzel_Warrior]

21. Good luck with that

Meanwhile, Walmart will be host to crowds stampeding over each other at Midnight on Black Friday to get one of those insanely cheeps whatchamahooies.

[totodeinhere]

24. Yes, efforts to boycott them have failed so far. They remain the #1 retailer in America by a mile.

Their sales are more than three times as much as the #2 retailer, Kroger Stores.

22. Don't shop - it just encourages them. nt
