    That is smart to stay away on that day.
    Someone was shot and killed over a parking space yesterday at Wal-Mart.
    I do my shopping on line as well.

    Nope. For many years now I have  observed Buy Nothing Day on the day after Thanksgiving.

  • Well they said over here that you should only buy if you can a) afford it and b) you really need it.. they say most bargains end up in landfill or cause the old product you are upgrading to go to landfill - they said think of the environment .

    @Baba -- As a Buy Nothing Day observer, I have pondered whether perishable necessary purchases (e.g. food, fuel for one's car, etc.) "count" as purchases within the spirit of Buy Nothing Day.

    Mostly, what I try to do is make sure I don't ***need*** to purchase anything on Buy Nothing Day, but if something comes up (e.g. I'm thirsty and I want to buy a drink), I don't fret about it too much.

  • I actively avoided it yesterday.  More so than in years past.

    I agree and it sure isn't worth getting killed for just to save a few bucks on an item.

    I did not, and don't recall ever doing so,  unless I was on the road or something.

    I did once many years ago and swore I would never do it again.

  • I wanted to, but I kept hearing that once you black you can never come back. And I didn't want to be gone for that long.

    I bought a TV after work since the old one got fried a few months ago. I thought that since I was already there and they were on sale it was a good time to get one. It was surprisingly dead at my store this year so that's good, but I work nights so maybe that's why?
    I wasn't sure if it would fit in my car, but there's a reason I call it "the clown car"
