Every year around Thanksgiving I’m reminded that there’s an alternative to “Black Friday” – annual Buy Nothing Day, which is meant to be the antithesis of Black Friday. In my down-sizing, simplifying, non-consumerist, self-sufficient desires, this is the perfect opportunity to detach from the consumer-binging hordes and go against the grain.
Is anyone else out there planning on participating in this year’s Buy Nothing Day??
I hadn’t heard of this before..but I would certainly participate…
We blow it every year by going to a used bookstore, but at least we’re buying locally, and buying used!
