Hey COSO,
While you had your head in the sand this week, guess what?
BLACK FRIDAY IS COMING...
Do your part in the USA to become the capitalistic consumer our billionaires count on us to be.
@Madken65 I worked 10 years in retail. I go out of my way to avoid buying on Black Friday. Exceptions would be groceries since get paid on Fridays and don’t always have enough to stockpile so need to pick up some staples when I cash my check. But I avoid even that if I’m able.
We don’t need as much as we think we need, and I struggle with that because I’m a stockpiler. I get anxious if I don’t have extra stockpiled away. But I still try to avoid purchases on Black Friday.
@Jorro @Madken65 I do try to shop at the local family owned supermarket in town if I have to pick something up but being a small store they don’t always have what I need. HyVee is my next choice, if they don’t have it I may do without because all that’s left around here is Dollar General and Wally World (aka Walmart).
@Jorro @Madken65 We have a nice but small supermarket and across the street from that is a Dollar General. There are also a couple tiny, family owned, Mexican stores and restaurants on the main street of downtown which is a couple blocks from my house. So if I needed to I can walk to the grocery store. I just can’t buy frozen items in the summer.
@Jorro @Madken65 I like buying at smaller businesses. You get some pretty good stuff and they make some money to help pay the bills. Billionaires get nothing. As it should be.
