The false urgency of "Black Friday" doesn't work on me b/c I work on my own timeline.

That, and I plan out my purchases and track prices year-round, so I know the 'deals' aren't actually deals.

the only places i really want to buy from are small businesses and this is usually the one time they have sales. but then i feel bad for cutting in to their (probably already small) profit margins.

i went to the mall (not on Black Friday) for the first time in forever and immediately wanted to leave. too many people and nothing looked good.

Very little worth going to the mall for... I make an exception for Lush lol

I'm allergic to most things there. Sad for my skin but good for my bank account 😂

I may be in the same boat, since eczema joined the chat

BOO! Eczema is so rude.

I'm a big fan of delayed gratification. I finally got a pair of earrings that I've been coveting for... 15 years.

If I can wait 15 years for something I really want (but don't need), I can't be rushed into buying something I don't want.
