So this year--day after Thanksgiving--I didn't buy a single thing. It was my way of associating with Buy Nothing Day< (sponsored by Adbusters, and good people everywhere). I don't like the whole post-Thanksgiving sale/shopping thing. It's a stupid phenomenon created solely for and buy the media, and it doesn't benefit the consumer--like we like to think, because we get hey! sweet TVs for only 184.00 at Walmart if you're first in line!--it definitely benefits the corporations. They don't throw a 'shopping holiday' like that to just hook up the people.
So buy things on your own time. Don't subscribe to everything you're fed.
