International Buy Nothing Day

Re: International Buy Nothing Day

Sorry to jump off the bandwagon, but I don't get it. I know many people who work in retailing, students etc. who work hard and would be hurt by something like this.
What about artists, crafters, etc ? Spending is not wrong, only spending unwisely. I'd rather support "International Make a Budget and Stick to it Day".

Re: International Buy Nothing Day

Well, I won't buy anything that day. I don't like shopping on black friday anyway.

Re: International Buy Nothing Day

They'll just get you later. It's like the boycott buying gasoline days that I always see. You need to buy it eventually. Whether it be today, tomorrow, or the next day, eventually you are going to need it. You're only delaying your purchase, not avoiding it.

Re: International Buy Nothing Day

The festivity has been an overwhelming success thus far.

I bought nothing.

Re: International Buy Nothing Day

My Guy did attempt to go "out there" because he was looking for a dek. he managed to deal with one used furniture place okay, but was back wiht no prucahes and he was stunned by the activity out there.

I've been staying home sorting and de-cluttering...today will be a net loss for me in terms of material goods!!!

Re: International Buy Nothing Day

You know what? I just went out to Target tonight, just to see if I can get in there and get a few shopping items off my list. I was expecting a very large crowd-- and it was reasonably large-- but overall, my shopping experience there went quite smoothly. I even jokingly asked if she was tired yet, but she smiled back and actually said, "No, I'm doing just fine!" Amazing.

I was going to turn around and go home if it looked too hectic, but it was surprisingly pleasant! I did go at 8pm though....

Re: International Buy Nothing Day

Stayed home, bought nothing. My brother went to Wal-Mart last night and also said it was quite tame. I guess the 5 am crowds are all too tired by 8 pm.
